Panic as Four-Storey School Building Collapses in Ogba Area of Lagos—-A major tragedy was averted in Lagos State on Monday when a four-storey building housing a school collapsed minutes after students and workers left the premises.

Tribune Online gathered that the incident occurred around 12 noon at 11 Adudatu Street, behind County Hospital in the Aguda area of Ogba, housing Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College.

It was gathered that a man in the vicinity raised the alarm that the building was showing signs of distress and was unsafe for people to occupy it.

“That was how students and teachers hurriedly exited the building,” an eyewitness account said, adding that.

“Shortly thereafter, the building collapsed.”

It was gathered that the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services later mobilised to the scene to secure the area and restrict access to the collapsed structure.

Also, Tribune Online further learnt that part of the collapsed building, which is being used for residential purposes, remained standing beside the collapsed portion.

Reacting to the incident, the Head of Public Affairs unit of the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Kayode Sutton, told Nigerian Tribune that the ministry had dispatched a team to the scene to ascertain the situation and cause of the incident.

He said further comment could only be provided after the fact-finding team submitted its findings
