A two-storey building under construction collapsed on Sunday during the decking stage on Craig Street in the Shomolu area of Lagos State.
Naija News reports that there were no casualties, as construction workers on-site managed to escape before the structure gave way.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed the incident.
The agenct stated that the collapsed structure was one of two buildings being constructed at the location.
The collapse also partially damaged the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Liberty Parish, located at No. 5 Craig Street.
Parts of the falling structure struck the church’s pillars, but all worshippers inside at the time were able to exit safely.
Naija News gathered that emergency responders, including LASEMA’s Cobra Response Team, the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS), the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC), and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), quickly arrived at the scene.
A thorough search confirmed that no one was trapped in the rubble.
Authorities reportedly cordoned off the area to restrict access and prevent further risk to the public.
