Billionaire owner of collapsed Ikoyi building remains unaccounted for

Nifemi, his PA found dead

The owner of Fourscore Homes, which was building the sky-scraper that collapsed on Monday is yet to be traced.

He is believed to be trapped inside the rubble together with his friend, identified as Bob-Oseni.

His bullet-proof car was parked at the site and he was believed to be inside the structure at the time of its collapse.

However, after three days of search, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) have no update on his whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Nifemi, the personal assistant to Mr. Femi Osibona, has been confirmed dead.

A source disclosed this to Sahara Reporters. The source also said the deceased’s boss was inside the rubble with his friend, Wale Bob-Oseni.

“The dead body of the PA, Nifemi, to the owner of the collapsed Lagos building has been recovered. She was simply naked.

“The Police Orderly of the owner, Osibona says he is trapped in the rubble with his friend, Wale Bob-Oseni,” the source said.

Bob-Oseni, a property and real estate dealer, has been alleged to be the developer of the building.

No fewer than 15 people have so far been confirmed dead since the building located on Gerrard Road collapsed.

Rescue efforts are still ongoing at the scene of the incident with families and friends of those trapped in the building accusing government officials and rescue workers of being ineffective.

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, had earlier suspended Gbolahan Oki, the general manager of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), over the incident.
