One Dies In Lagos Storey Building Collapse

An old woman lost her life in the early hours of Thursday when a building partially collapsed on Oloto Street in the Oyingbo area of Lagos State.

The woman died from the impact of the partial collapse, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) disclosed in a statement.

The agency, however, made it known that no one sustained injuries in the collapse.

The agency said “an internal suspended beam in a room collapsed at about 7:45 am due to the aging and lack of maintenance of the structure.

“The building has been cordoned off and Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has been contacted,” LASEMA said, adding that search and rescue operation has commenced.
