A 25-year-old man, Joseph Ilesanmi, has been confirmed dead after an abandoned two-storey building collapsed around Haruna Bus Stop in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Two other persons were rescued from the rubble following the incident, which occurred on Thursday.
Emergency responders were deployed to the scene after the building collapsed, with rescue operations subsequently launched to locate and evacuate anyone who might have been trapped beneath the debris.
The deceased, identified as Ilesanmi, was confirmed dead in the aftermath of the collapse.
The incident has renewed concerns over the dangers posed by abandoned and distressed buildings across Lagos, particularly structures that could endanger residents, workers and passersby.
Authorities have continued to face concerns over buildings in poor condition, with abandoned structures posing additional risks when they are left without proper maintenance or safety measures.
