A storey building located in the Lekki area of Lagos State has collapsed.

The incident is coming a few hours after a 21-storey building collapsed in the Ikoyi area of the state.

The number of casualties cannot be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.

Meanwhile, the Ikoyo structure located at 20, Gerrard Road went completely down at about 2:45 p.m on Monday, causing unrest in the area.

The development saw the Lagos State Government order the arrest of the owner of the collapsed 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos.

He was arrested for embarking on an unapproved number of floors, endangering the lives of people.

Speaking with newsmen earlier today in Lagos, the General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Gbolahan Oki confirmed that the owner has been arrested and would be prosecuted.

“The materials he used for the reinforcement are so terrible. He got approval for 15 floors but built 21. He has been arrested,” the official claimed.
