Information reaching News About Nigeria is that a two-storey building collapsed early Monday morning in the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos State, causing panic as nearby residents fled the scene.
The incident occurred around 8:45 a.m. on Amusu Street, Baale Bus Stop, according to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
LASEMA’s Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Nosa Okunbor, confirmed that there were no reported casualties.
He stated that the building appeared to have collapsed by itself, which prompted LASEMA’s Response Teams to conduct a search-and-rescue operation on site.
An anonymous official from LASEMA added that the building had been evacuated prior to the collapse, which likely prevented any injuries.
Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to secure the area and assess the damage.
