The rate of building collapse, especially here in the city of Lagos, is worrisome and has called for action in bringing down some inadequate structures like here in a butimata. With the numerous cases of building collapse, especially the recent collapse of an old three-story building at number 24 Abaddon Street of Herbert Macaulay Way, a butimata at the legal state, emergency management agency and legal state building control agency and not taking chances as they have swung into actions in demolishing the legal structures here at number 54 Jeba Street, a butimata. An official who spoke off the camera disclosed that three buildings have been demolished with more to go down. Some of the residents appreciated the state government for a job well done, saying that the demolition is in the right direction as prevention is better than cure. While some lamented that they were neither informed nor given enough time to vacate. I believe that government knows what is best when it comes to demolition a structure that is not defeating, you understand. So the government officials came around yesterday for proper demolition and I can only say that residents and property owners should do the needful and they should consult the right professionals anytime they want to go into construction. Yes because life and property should be well well secured. Yes it's good. There are some that are marked around the street which I think is very good. It's better you save millions than keep one as a single life. So that's the only thing because most of these developers, most of them are assassins. They don't care because the only thing they think about is their own money. My shop isn't even near that house. It's opposite by the site. The man just came and he didn't even involve in me anything at all. He just came yesterday and just demolished everything. Even the man was the man she was helping me to remove my things and pack it to another site. He told the man to demolish everything. I don't even have anybody. I have God. That's only the hope for me. For me and my children. That's the thing I'm saying. I'm spending my children to the school. There's life on us. There's give up two days or three days to pack ourselves and arrange ourselves. They are preventing future from the building or to collapse. Meanwhile it affects the poor masses beside the building which is not supposed to be that. Even though if you want to make provision, you have to caution and even up as well for others that will affect. Nassema Pamanel Secretary, Femi Oke, Osain Tolu, has issued a statement stating that the constructions failed numerous integrity and structural tests and were subjected to several stop-walk orders which were severely flouted.
