Tragedy struck on Thursday morning when a yet-to-be-identified woman said to be 80 years old died as the staircase of a storey building caved in in the Oyingbo area of Lagos. The Lagos State Building Control Agency while condoling with the victims of the collapsed building blamed the non-compliance on the vacation notice on the part of occupants of the building. A source in the area said the building was an old building and needed to be vacated for repairs. “The agency responded to distress calls concerning the above and upon arrival, discovered a storey building in a state of partial collapse. “Unfortunately, an old woman died from the impact of the partial collapse,” LASEMA said in a statement.
