Barely 24 hours after a Lagos State government official said only 15 floors were approved for the 21-storey building which collapsed in Ikoyi, Lagos, the deputy governor has issued a contradiction.<\/p>\n

Obafemi Hamzat, the deputy governor, said while addressing journalists at the site of the collapsed building<\/a> on Tuesday morning that the owner of the building got approval for 21 floors.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Gbolahan Oki, the general manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), said the government approved 15 floors for the 21-storey building.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got an approval for a 15-storey building and he exceeded his limit. I am on ground here and the materials he used are so inferior and terrible,\u201d Mr Oki had said.<\/p>\n

But the deputy governor contradicted the claim.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular one was approved for 21 floors, not 15. If you count, the second building was 14 or 15. The approval was done about three years ago, it is not something new, it is the construction that failed apparently from what we can see,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Hamzat also confirmed the earlier sealing of the building by the state government over poor construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was sealed from June. It was sealed because the agency came in to do a structural test, they saw some abnormalities, so they shut it down for those things to be corrected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were making corrective actions when this (collapse) happened,\u201d Mr Hamzat said.<\/p>\n

He added that the emergency agencies are not sure of the number of people that are trapped in the building because it is not a residential building and there is no list of people that were there when it collapsed.<\/p>\n

As of the time of this report, 10 bodies had been recovered from the incident, while nine victims were rescued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
