Updated: Another five-storey building under construction collapses in Lagos

BREAKING : Another five-storey building under construction collapses in Lagos

A five-storey building under construction on Sunday collapsed on Ladipo Oluwole Street, GRA, Apapa, Lagos State.

This is coming about 24 hours after Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had inspected a collapsed structure in the Banana Island area, Ikoyi, and ordered the demolition of some buildings found to be defective in the area.

The Apapa building was said to have caved in following a thunder strike during the early morning downpour in Lagos.

Director, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Magret Adeseye, confirmed the incident.

She said there was no casualty as all the workers working on the collapsed building had embarked on Sallah break.
