A two-storey building on Chris Igadi Street, in the Ago
Palace Way area of Lagos State, collapsed on Saturday.
Our correspondent gathered that people residing in the
building vacated the premises immediately after the building gave a sign it
wanted to collapse.
The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Emergency Management
Agency, Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, said no casualty was recorded during the
incident, adding that the site of the collapsed structure had been handed over
to the Lagos State Building Control Agency.
He said, “The agency responded to the collapsed two-story
building on Chris Igadi Street, off Ago Palace Way, opposite Kilimanjaro/ AP
filling station, around 3am this morning.
“On arrival, information gathered from the residents
revealed that the building gave signs several hours before it collapsed.
Fortunately, nobody was trapped as all the occupants evacuated the area when
the signs began two hours before the collapse.
“A headcount of occupants was carried out to ensure no
occupants is missing and the remains of the building were cordoned off. The
operation was concluded around 5:23 am. The site will be handed over to LABSCA
