In the two-minute video clip, dated 2020, a group of men, who appeared to be officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), insisted on sealing off the building, but Osibona attempted to stop them from doing so.
The video:
He was aided by group of policemen who shot into the air to disperse the officials of LASBCA and onlookers.
On Monday, the building, which is situated along Gerard Road in Ikoyi, collapsed killing about 38 people, and with many more suspected to be trapped in the rubble.
While the cause for the collapse is not certain, Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos state, had said work at the collapsed building in Ikoyi was once stopped after it failed a structural integrity test.
He said LASBCA sealed off the premises for four months when some “anomalies” were observed.
Gbolahan Oki, the now suspended general manager of LASBCA, had said Osibona was given approval to construct only 15 floors.
“He got an approval for a 15-storey building and he exceeded his limit. I am on ground here and the materials he used are so inferior and terrible,” Oki had said.
“The materials he used, the reinforcement, are so terrible. He got approval for 15 floors but built 21.”
The media reported that Prowess Engineering Limited WIGHDREW ITS SERVICES from the building in 2020 over poor execution of the project.
