A two-storey building collapsed early Monday morning on Amusu Street in the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos State, Nigeria, just as residents were starting their daily business activities. The incident, which has drawn significant attention, remains under investigation.
A video of the building’s collapse was shared on social media by Samuel Olatunji, a media executive and blogger. While it has not yet been confirmed how many people were inside the building at the time of the incident, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) reported that no casualties were recorded.
“I have been closely monitoring the situation,” said a LASEMA spokesperson. “Our teams are on the ground to assess the situation further and provide necessary assistance.”
This collapse adds to the growing concerns over the safety of buildings in Lagos, where structural failures have become increasingly common. The Lagos State Government has been urged to enhance regulations and oversight in construction to prevent future tragedies.
Details about the incident are still developing, and authorities are expected to provide further updates as the situation unfolds.
