The news of the accident has sent some shocked and left netizens to react, some of whom believe the building collapsed due to substantial material and have called on the government for regulation of building materials.
“Mehn hardship has forced people to use substandard stuff to build houses. This is becoming too much. The government really needs to regulate our building materials, like NAFDAC. It is not a must to build a house, especially if you are not sure of the funding. May their soul find eternal rest,” Evangeline Chiyere, an X user, commented.
Another user, Ayò Èlѐniyàn, said, “We tend to overlook things so much in this country, it’s very certain this building needs renovation, but we just don’t care about safety.”
As of writing this, the medical staff and security operatives were on the ground, attending to the situation.
