Lagos Collapsed Building Was Marked For Demolition In 2018

Some residents around the Lagos collapsed building at Ita-Faaji,
housing a primary school, have revealed that the building was marked for
demolition in 2018.

They however called on the government to stop developers from constructing high rise buildings in the area.

According
to reports, the building was marked for demolition, but the owner
allegedly bribed officials and the demolition did not hold.

“The
building has been marked for demolition, but the government officials
always take a bribe. The building has been giving signs of weakness but
whenever government officials come, the owner always bribes them.

“The
owners always boast they have people in government that they can bribe
to overlook the proposed demolition of the building” one of the
residents alleged.
