To forestall any incident of building collapse, Lagos State Building Control Agency has commenced the demolition of distressed budings on Lagos Island, Mushin and other areas across the state.
The Lagos State Disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday.
The agency said it had earlier marked the buildings unfit for habitation and the occupants were expected to have vacated the affected buildings for their safety.
It stated: “The evacuation and partial demolition carried out by the agency became necessary in order to compel the occupants of the distressed buildings to relocate to safer accommodations, adding that it was going to be the last move by the agency before the final demolition.
“The affected buildings include units of three and four flats in Oke-Arin and Doherty Streets of Lagos Island and four-floor one-unit residential buildings in Idi Araba areas of the State, among others.”
