An eyewitness, Ajayi Timi, who complained of slow response to emergencies, told Channels Television that "we heard the sound of the collapsed building and I had to rush out as a licenced Red Cross officer.
We had to mobilise so many rescue officials to come and assist. The LASEMA, State Red Cross, Area Commander of the Police and Fire Brigade, were all contacted", he said.
An official of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed to Channels Television that no casualty was recorded during the incident.
The cause of the collapse is not yet ascertained.
