A building, today, collapsed at the Afolabi Alasia Street along Ijora-Badia, Lagos State.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency confirmed this in a statement by its Head of Public Affairs, Nosa Okunbor.
Okunbor blamed poor maintenance for the partial building collapse.
He, however, explained that no lives were lost to the incident.
He said, “Upon arrival at the scene of the incident, it was discovered that the backside of a storey building that was showing visible cracks and signs of dilapidation, collapsed as a result of lack of maintenance.
“However so far, no loss of lives nor injuries sustained at the scene of incident.
“LRT and Police officers from Ijora-Badia are responders at the scene working together to evacuate all the occupants from the building as the scene of the incident have been cordoned off to prevent any secondary incident.”
