At least 15 bodies have been recovered while others are still trapped under the rubble.

Meanwhile, The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered the indefinite suspension of the general manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Gbolahan Oki, following the collapse of a 21-storey building in the Ikoyi area of the state.

The Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotosho, said in a statement on Tuesday.

On Monday, Mr Oki had said the building agency approved 15 floors for the 21-storey building.

But Mr Obafemi contradicted the claim, saying the owner of the building got approval for 21 floors.
