2 dead as uncompleted building collapses in Lagos

According to Premium Times, the incident occurred at NICON Town Estate, off Admiralty way, Lekki.

The news outlet gathered that some of the people around the building when it collapsed sustained various degrees of injuries.

Premium Times said an official of the Lagos emergency agency told them there were “casualties”.

He however said rescue effort is ongoing at the site of the collapse.

This has continuously occurred over the years while the government and the regulatory agencies remain mute as citizens die the most painful deaths ever.

Rather than take drastic actions against the incessant building collapse either against the contractors and owners of the structures or strengthen the regulatory agencies in a bid to enforce laws guiding the building and construction industry in the nation, the government remains unmindful of the series of deaths occasioned by building collapse across the nation.
