A 21-storey building collapsed at Wesley Road in the Ikoyi area of Lagos on Monday. Eyewitnesses say the building caved in around 2pm, leaving many of the construction workers trapped in the rubble. The Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, in the company of other State officials, got to the scene shortly after and called for an immediate investigation to ascertain the remote and immediate cause of the collapse. He also directed that the location be cordoned off to facilitate rescue in an effort to prevent onlookers from moving within close proximity of the site.
