    Our correspondent gathered that the incident occurred early this morning at Odunfa Street in Lagos Island.

    Though, the cause of the collapse could not be ascertained as at the time of filling this report, sources in the area however disclosed that most buildings that collapse, could be due to the builders using sub-standard materials for the construction of the buildings.
