The landlord’s son, in whose care the collapsed three-storey building was entrusted, said that he gave the occupants of the building quit notice when he discovered the visible stress on it.

The caretaker, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told emergency responders and newsmen on Monday in Lagos that he was living in the building with other occupants when he noticed signs of distress.
He said that quit notice was eventually handed over to the occupants which they failed to adhere to.
The caretaker said that he had not collected rental fees from the tenants for a long time since he had expected them to pack out.
The said building collapsed on Sunday night, killing eight occupants, while 23 of them were rescued alive.
Emergency workers have been working round the clock to get to ground zero of the building.
