According to reports, the incident, which happened at around nine in the morning, shocked the neighborhood.
The facility was being renovated when it fell, according to a statement made by Magaret Adeseye, director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services.

But she also mentioned that the construction workers were unharmed.
