The agency giving the circumstances surrounding the building’s structural failure said:
“an internal suspended beam in a room collapsed at about 7:45am due to the aging and lack of maintenance of the structure.
“The building has been cordoned off and Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has been contacted,” LASEMA stated that a search and rescue operation is now underway.
