Summary

On October 23, 2026, a building under construction on Akinola Street, by Fadeyi Bus Stop, off Ikorodu Road, was destroyed. The incident resulted in 1 person killed and 3 people injured. Olatunde Akinsanya, Director of Operations of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, attributed the collapse to corner-cutting by the developer. While rescue teams recovered one body and pulled three survivors from the debris, the LASEMA Permanent Secretary, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, has not confirmed the cause of the collapse. Reports note that groaning sounds were heard beneath the rubble, and an observer named Joseph narrowly escaped being caught in the incident.
