#ikoyibuildingcollapse: Real estate developer Wale Bob-Oseni, on his way to catch a flight to the US, stopped over in Ikoyi to see his friend, Fourscore homes MD/CEO Femi Osibona.
On his way to the airport, he stopped by to see the 21-storey building being developed by his friend and associate. The building collapsed with Bob-Oseni and Osibona inside, and they are now presumably dead after 48 hours of rescue efforts.
In a video that went viral, after the collapse, a man believed to be Bob-Oseni’s driver was seen crying, saying he was to take his boss to the Lagos airport.
“He was heading to America. I want to go and drop him in the airport,” the driver said in tears.
There is no official figure of the number of persons who were in the building before the incident happened but over 50 persons are said to have been trapped.
