September 18, 2023 Two Hospitalised As 500-Room Lagos Building Collapses

Two Hospitalised As 500-Room Lagos Building Collapses

At least two persons are currently battling for their lives at a private hospital after a building with over 500 rooms collapsed in the Ketu area of Lagos State.

They were rescued after the school-turned-residential building partially collapsed on Saturday.

The building, housing hundreds of residents located at Agboye Estate on Oduntan Street, Ketu, first caved in on Saturday afternoon following hours of rainfall that greeted most parts of Lagos.

On Sunday afternoon, as residents were still trying to salvage their belongings, the building crumbled again, destroying another structure inside the compound before collapsing completely.

The development sent panic across the area, forcing hundreds of families and individuals residing in the building to vacate the premises.

Dozens of residents were seen moving their belongings in different directions as the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) officials cordoned off the premises.
