Another building collapses in Lagos, no casualty recorded

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) on friday confirmed the collapse of yet another two-storey building at 7, Rufai Street, Makinde, Ojuelegba, Lagos.

LASEMA boss, Dr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, who confirmed the incident, said there was no casualty as occupants quickly vacated the structure before it caved in.
