In order to ensure the safety, protection, and enhancement of both public and private organizations in Lagos State, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) and the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) conducted a site visit today, May 28, 2025, at the location of a collapsed two-story building on Awolowo Way, Ota-Ona, Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria.
The agencies aimed to assess the situation and confirm that no additional fatalities were reported, noting that two individuals have tragically lost their lives and ten others sustained injuries, with one female individual currently in a coma.
LASEPA’s primary mission is to safeguard and enhance the environment while supporting public and private entities, industries, businesses, and non-governmental organizations in achieving regulatory compliance and offering environmentally friendly solutions to various environmental challenges.
The LASBCA serves as a government agency established to uphold the basic minimum standards in both the construction and renovation of buildings, ensuring that they remain safe, healthy, accessible, and habitable for both current and future generations.
The property in question is owned by the Itameta Family of Ikorodu, also referred to as Oshinowo.
Additionally, the adjacent two-story building has sustained minor damage.
It is recommended that this building, associated with Dare Melody’s Organisation, be either properly maintained or renovated to prevent further deterioration.
