On Craig Street in Shomolu, Lagos, a two-story structure that was still under construction fell as the decking was being installed.
The building is one of two being constructed on the property. At the time of this article, the precise reason of the collapse is yet unknown.
According to reports, a nearby church was partially damaged when the building’s pillars toppled over it.
Fortunately, people inside the church fled unscathed, and no fatalities or injuries were reported.
