Another unfortunate incident occurred today in Oyingbo, Lagos, as a storey building on Oloto Street partially collapsed, claiming the life of an elderly woman.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) attributed the collapse to the aging and lack of maintenance of the structure.
Emergency responders disclosed that the internal suspended beam in a room gave way around 7:45 am, leading to the tragic incident. Despite the loss of life, there were no other reported injuries.
In response to the incident, the affected building has been cordoned off, and the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has been notified. Currently, search and rescue operations are underway to ensure the safety of the area.
