A six-storey building situated inside the highbrow Banana Island in Lagos State has collapsed.
The building according to sources is a Joe Faraday’s site still under construction.
A source said while it is unsure what triggered the collapse, concreting was ongoing on the sixth floor before the collapse.

The National Emergency Management Agency of Nigeria (NEMA) said workers are trapped in the building and its officials are mobilising the response team to rescue the trapped victims.
Recall that a year ago, a 21-storey building under construction also collapsed in the high-brow Ikoyi, killing the billionaire property developer Femi Osibona, his best friend, staff of Fourscore Homes, construction workers and police aides.
Cases of buildings collapsing in Nigeria are increasing daily and this is becoming alarming. See more stories here.
