A four storey building under construction located at Bashiru Street, off Isheri road in Lagos, South West Nigeria caved in on Tuesday afternoon killing one worker.

There are fears that some workers are trapped under the rubbles but the rescue team is making efforts to rescue them.

The Commissioner for Physical Planning, Toyin Ayinde who is leading rescue efforts said heavy duty earth moving equipment have been deployed to help rescue victims of the collapse building.

The building is located about 200 meters away from the office of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Ojodu and officials of the organization have also moved in to help beef up rescue exercise.

According to Mr Ayinde, it’s too quick to conclude what may have caused the building collapse, but the structure was approved by the federal ministry of housing.
