“I am presently at the scene of another building collapsed this afternoon at 50b Kakawa street lagos island. Thank God there was no casualty. The house itself had been earmarked for demilition. Government will do all within the law to forestall these ugly situation,” he wrote on Twitter.

Following the spate of collapsed buildings, the Lagos State government has commenced demolition of illegal and vulnerable structures.
