A two-storey building has collapsed in the Ago Palace Way area of Lagos State, barely a week after the collapse of a building in the Ebute Metta area.
The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Emergency
Management Agency, LASEMA, Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, said rescuers responded to the
incident at about 3am on Saturday. Reported by Sahara reporters.
“On arrival,
information gathered from the residents revealed that the building gave signs
several hours before the building collapsed.
“Fortunately,
nobody was trapped as all the occupants evacuated the area when the signs began
two hours before the collapse.
“A head count of
occupants was carried out to ensure no occupant is missing and the remains of
the building were cordoned off,” he said.
He added that the
operation was concluded at about 5:23am, adding that the site would be handed
over to LABSCA and Ministry of Physical Planning for further investigation.
