The woman was said to be an illegal occupant of the building, as the residents had reportedly been issued an evacuation notice by the Lagos Building Control Agency (LASBCA).

The incident was confirmed by the Territorial Head of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Lagos, Ibrahim Farinloye.

Farinloye revealed that a rescue operation is ongoing.

He said, “A two-storey building with a penthouse collapsed at about 0930 hours along Herbert Marculley Way, Ebute Metta. It is suspected that a woman illegally occupying it was trapped, though it is suspected that there could be an additional two people, but no one could confirm that yet.
