“The workers were working this evening around 7 p.m. and one of the artisans was apparently polishing the floor tiles, whilst another was at the top.
“The canopy collapsed on the artisan on the ground level and he lost his life,” the LASEMA boss said.
He, however, said that the area had been cordoned off to prevent any secondary incident while the recovery operation was completed at 9:30 p.m.
Oke-Osanyintolu said that Lagos State Fire Service, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and police were at the scene and concluded joint efforts to retrieve the remains of the victim.
