Lagos govt arrests developer of three-storey collapsed building
The Lagos State Government has arrested the developer of the collapsed three-storey building which was under construction at No. 16 Akanbi Crescent, Onike Area, Lagos.
Recall that a three-storey building collapsed in the Yaba area on Saturday.
A statement issued by the State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr Idris Salako, said “the government moved in swiftly to minimize impact at the site around 3.30pm on Saturday.
”Preliminary findings indicated that the site had been sealed off twice by the Lagos State Building Control Agency in 2021 for non-compliance with building regulations, after which the site was abandoned.
“However, the developer later broke the government seal, sneaked into the site and recommenced construction without official authorisation.
“As at 9:00pm, one person had been pulled out alive, while two deaths were recorded.
“The developer in charge of the site has since been arrested and handed over to the police, while rescue operation is ongoing,” he said.
