Another building which collapsed in Lagos Island during the ongoing demolition in the area located at Egerton Square, Oke Arin collapsed on Monday afternoon trapping some persons.
Details about the collapse which comes less than a week after the Ita Faji collapse that claimed 20 lives, but the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency confirmed it through its official Twitter account.
No loss of lives has been recorded at the incident while injured persons have been taken to the hospitals.
According to LASEMA, the building is one of those marked by the LASCBCA for demolition.
“The officials were on top of the building when some scavengers tried to remove the doors on the ground floor and the remaining parts of the building collapsed on them,” one of the tweets read.
It added that four scavengers sustained minor injuries and had been taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Our correspondent Mary Chinda was at the Scene of the incident as she gives us updates.
