Three people were confirmed dead and about four others including a security guard and construction workers were reportedly trapped on Saturday after a three-storey building under construction in Akanbi Crescent, in Lagos’ Yaba area collapsed.
Newsglobal gathered that one worker, identified as Sunday, was rescued from the rubble.
The incident, which happened about 3.30pm, came nearly three months after a 21-storey building in Ikoyi, owned by the late Managing Director, Fourscore Heights Limited, Femi Osibona, collapsed, trapping more than 50 people.
More than 40 people, including Osibona, his personal assistant, Onyinye Enekwe, and his friend, Wale Bob-Oseni, were killed.
A preliminary report blamed the Ikoyi incident as a violation of an approved building plan originally designed as eight stories and and poor quality of concrete materials.
