IN LAGOS, A THREE-STORY STRUCTURE COLLAPSES.

The state government had planned to demolish a three-story building on Jebba Street in Cemetery in Ebute-Meta, Lagos, but it collapsed on Sunday.
 
The incident happened around 7 p.m., according to an eyewitness, Olalekan Fatai. There was no casualty.
 
"The building collapsed at about 7pm. People were living there before, but its owner sent them out like three years ago," Fatai said, noting that it and some other buildings on the same street and nearby streets had also been marked for demolition, including No. 15a Jebba Street, which had already been demolished, No. 6 Church Street, No. 84 Ondo Street, and No. 18 Kano Street.
 
“Apart from this building that just collapsed, there are other buildings too that were mapped out as distressed buildings around here, last year, by the state government. Some of these buildings marked are already demolished, while some are not,” Fatai noted.
 
Another resident on the same neighborhood, simply named as Mr. Abdul, accused the authorities for failing to demolish the building on time, citing the risk of death.
 
"What if this building collapsed on someone or a nearby building?" he said. We're probably documenting casualties by now.
 
“Government should be strict with demolishing all these distressed buildings. Once they notice a building is in a bad state, such a building should be demolished immediately to avoid recording death.”
