Man raises alarm as landlord rents collapsing building in oworo Lagos to new tenants

A Nigerian man has raised alarm after a landlord in Oworonshoki, Lagos, allegedly began renting out a collapsing building to new tenants, sparking fears of an impending tragedy.

This was revealed in a post currently making waves on the popular social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.

The man, believed to be a resident of the area, claimed that the building has shown clear signs of structural failure and could collapse at any moment.

According to him, the landlord had previously instructed all tenants to vacate the property in 2024 due to safety concerns.

However, to his shock, the landlord has now started renting the same property to new tenants despite the visible warning signs.

In a bid to draw public attention and prompt intervention from the Lagos State Government, the man reached out to a popular media influencer, urging him to help publicize the issue and prevent a potential disaster.

His message reads: “Good morning Mr. Morris, Please, there’s a sinking two-storey building in Oworonshoki, Lagos. I’m afraid it will collapse soon. The landlord told all occupants to leave in 2024 because he planned to demolish it, but to everyone’s surprise, he’s already renting out the apartments to new tenants.”

“I’m afraid something tragic will happen soon if nothing is done. I have videos to back up my claims. Please, I want you to share this for wider visibility so the Lagos State Government can take action.”

As the post gained traction online, concerned Nigerians flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and express their fears.
