LAGOS RESIDENTS PANIC OVER DISTRESSED THREE-STOREYED BUILDING

-          Residents of Atiko and environs, off Adeniji Adele Road, Lagos Island, have cried out over the ongoing renovation of a distressed a-three-storey building at 25 Atiko Street.

-          The building was reportedly built on swampy land and had been marked as distressed by the Lagos State Building Control Agency in August 2015, forcing its occupants to vacate it.

-          It was learnt that a developer in charge of the building started its renovation in November.

-          The developer claims that the Lagos State Material testing Laboratory, LSMTL, had carried out investigations into the structure and had Okayed it.
