Panic gripped residents of Shomolu on Monday afternoon when a two-storey building under construction collapsed at Number 3 Craig Street, off Apata Road.
The incident, which occurred around 1 p.m., caused significant alarm but resulted in no casualties. Eyewitnesses confirmed that both construction workers and church worshippers in a nearby building fled the scene just in time, avoiding injury.
The collapsed structure’s pillars reportedly struck a section of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Liberty Parish, which sustained partial damage. Fortunately, no one inside the church was harmed.
Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), confirmed the incident, stating that the building gave way during the decking process.
“Preliminary investigations show that no individuals were trapped in the rubble,” Oke-Osanyintolu said, adding that the site has since been cordoned off for safety and further assessment.
Emergency authorities continue to monitor the situation to ensure structural stability in the surrounding area.
