According to him, aside the results of exhaustive tests, the building had shown visible cracks, distress signs and several other defects which led to the distress calls.
Oke-Osanyintolu said that the demolition took place to stop constituting threats to lives of occupants and surrounding property.
He, however, urged members of the public to take necessary corrective action to safeguard their property and save lives.
