A 21-storey building on Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, caved in on November 1, 2021, killing about 50 people.

The Lagos State Government has revealed that there will be no compensation for families of 50 people who lost their lives in the collapse of 21-storey building in Ikoyi last year.

The Commissioner explained that all those who evacuated bodies of their loved ones and asked for assistance were given money for transportation and funeral.“The law has no room for such compensation, but if you’re talking about doing this on compassionate grounds, I know Mr. Governor as a compassionate leader.

Omotoso asserted that Attorney-General Moyosore Onigbanjo had been directed by Governor Sanwo-Olu to ensure that those found guilty of compromising the process of adherence to quality standards at the Foreshore Towers in Ikoyi were prosecuted.
