It was learnt that the balcony of the top floor of the building collapsed.
Confirming the incident, the Director-General of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, (LASEMA), Dr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, however, said that the agency was yet to confirm if the building actually trapped a resident or injured anyone.
