Controversies

However, there are controversies about the construction of the building before the unfortunate incident. It is reported that part of the cause of the collapse was the recklessness on the part of Femi Osibona.

Femi Osibona neglected the suggestions and moved on with the initial plan, however, this made the aforementioned company part ways with Four Score Homes Limited on the project.

Also, back in 2020 before the eventful day of the collapse, the Lagos State Government had sealed the premises over suspicion of unlawful practices. Sadly, they could not follow through with their investigation as it was reported that Femi Osibona bought his way out.

An inquest is being carried out by the Lagos State Government as a six-man committee is set up to investigate the cause of the collapse which will determine what legal actions will be carried out.
