BREAKING: Another building collapses in Lagos


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.
