The building, which was under construction on Isaga Road, opposite the Idi Araba Central Mosque, caved in, trapping workers under the rubble.
Emergency services were mobilised following distress alerts received at 3:40 p.m.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed that its response team from the Cappa base arrived at the scene by 3:56 p.m. and began search and rescue operations.
Although the cause of the collapse is yet to be determined, officials say efforts are underway to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident.
So far, one individual has been rescued alive from the debris. No fatalities have been reported as of the time of this report, though operations are still ongoing.
According to a preliminary report by LASEMA, the site has been cordoned off, and the agency’s excavator has been deployed to assist with the rescue.
