Lagos State tops the list of fatalities as over 271 buildings collapsed in the last 10 years, documents obtained from the Building Collapse Prevention Guild have revealed.

While the General Overseer of the church, Prophet Temitope Joshua blamed “aircraft hovering” for the tragic event, documents obtained from the Building Collapse Prevention Guild described the cause of collapse as “uncertain.”

Investigations that followed weeks after the event revealed that the construction project did not have the necessary approval from regulatory authorities. Speaking exclusively with The PUNCH, a former president of the Nigerian Institute of Builders, Kunle Awobodu, blamed weak regulations for the incessant cases of building collapse in Lagos State.
