The building collapsed into another building beside it.

An eyewitness said a part of the building had collapsed late last year, but the construction did not stop.

A resident of number 29, Lawani Street, a street off the scene of the incident told PUNCH that her car was affected last year, when a section of the building collapsed, however, construction continued despite the police being called in.

The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Unit was called to the scene but had yet to arrive as at the time of report.

The latest collapse is coming barely three months after the 21-storey building at Ikoyi crumbled, killing 46 persons while 15 persons were rescued alive.
