The
Lagos State Building Control Agency, on Friday morning, commenced the
demolition of defective buildings within Lagos Island.
About
180 houses will be demolished in the exercise, according to the General Manager
of LASBCA, Lekan Shodeinde.
He said
20 would be demolished on Friday.
The
agency’s task force began with the demolition of a three-storey building on 60A
Freeman Street, Epetedo.
The
demolition is coming on the heels of Wednesday building collapse on Massey
Street, Ita Faaji, Lagos Island, which killed many pupils and injured others.
The agency said the property owners had been served several notices dating back to 2013.
