A three-storey building under construction in Ladipo Oluwole, Apapa, Lagos State, has collapsed.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Sunday, April 23, by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Mukaila Sanusi.
Sanusi noted that no casualty was recorded in the incident, adding that the site of the collapsed building has been cordoned off by LASBCA officers.
He stated that the building collapsed after the developers ignored the stop work and seal-up orders of the LASBCA and continued the construction.

“The collapse incident, which was flagged on the Physical Planning incident management platform on Sunday evening, triggered immediate preliminary enquiries that showed that officers of the States Building Control Agency had issued a number of contravention notices, stop work and seal up orders which the developer ignored and carried on construction without any recourse, whatsoever, to the authorities.
“There has been no report of any casualty, while the site has been cordoned off and taken over by LASBCA.
“This particular incident, like similar others, reinforces governments repeated calls for responsible behaviour on the part of all stakeholders in the built environment.
“Lagos State Government has immediately activated inquires into the collapse to unravel the minute details and guide appropriate actions,” Sanusi said.
