Tragedy struck on Wednesday evening, when a storey building at number 12 Aromire Avenue, opposite Dominos Pizza, Ikeja, suddenly collapsed killing one yet-to-be-identified person.
The incident, according to eyewitnesses, occurred at about 6.45 pm, when the building, still under construction, partially collapsed.
