On Thursday morning, an elderly woman was killed when a building partially fell on Oloto Street in Lagos State’s Oyingbo neighbourhood.
The woman died as a result of the partial collapse, according to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
The agency, on the other hand, stated that no one was hurt in the collapse.
According to the organisation, “an internal suspended beam in a room collapsed at about 7:45am due to the structure’s ageing and lack of maintenance.”
“The building has been cordoned off and Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has been contacted,” LASEMA said, adding that search and rescue operation has commenced.
