The Lagos State Government has denied reports of a directive for demolition of the 2 high-rise structures standing at the site of the 21-storey collapsed building in Ikoyi.
Gbenga Omotoso, Information Commissioner made the clarification in a statement Wednesday night, saying the panel probing the collapse is sitting and an integrity test is yet to be conducted on the buildings.
The commissioner said it is wrong to assert or speculate that the two completed will be demolished.
Meanwhile, two more bodies were recovered on Wednesday, taking the death toll from the collapsed structure to 45.
The ministry added that so far 32 families have submitted samples for DNA to identify corpses and in cases where identification is clear, the victim will be released.
“A committee to supervise the identification and release of the bodies has begun work. It comprises senior officials of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice”, the statement added.
