6-Storey Building Collapse in Maryland, Lagos

The building after it collapsed
A 6-storey building collapsed wednesday evening in Maryland, Lagos. The Don de Dieu Plaza, which was located at 11, Aderibigbe Street, was occupied by over 10 companies as at the time it collapsed. Over 350 people escaped death as they had been evacuated before the building collapsed.

The evacuation took place because prior to it's collapse, the building shook to its foundation and occupants and neighbours heard a very loud noise yesterday at about 3pm, giving signs that all was not well. Less than two hours after all the occupants had left the building, it collapsed. No casualty was recorded. Thank God!
