We found out that due diligence was observed – Lagos state government unseals Lekki mall where 28-year-old man d!ed in parking lot

The Lagos State Government has announced the re-opening of the Purple Mall located at Freedom Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lekki  for business activities, following a tragic incident that occurred at the malls parking lot resulting in the death of a 28-year-old man. The Honourable Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab  gave the directive when he led top government functionaries to inspect the premises of Purple Mall. A statement from the spokesperson of the Ministry, Kunle Adeshina, stated that the Commissioner said that immediately after the incident was brought to his attention, the State Government called for an investigation and all supporting documents from Purple Mall. “We called for all supporting documents and investigation after the incident. And in fairness, at the end of the day, we found out that due diligence was observed and that they have the necessary paperwork. The Mall cannot be sealed indefinitely  while the other investigation is still on-going. We  were satisfied with our own administrative end of the investigation. What we can’t control is the investigation which the Police is conducting. That’s an investigation about someone’s life”, he explained. Wahab described the fatal incident in which the young man lost his life after his vehicle fell from the 5th floor of the parking lot, leading to his death, as unfortunate. Hon Wahab recalled that the facility was earlier shut by the State Government to give room for specialised investigation to determine the cause of the incident, assess compliance with building safety regulations, and identify any environmental or structural violations.    The post We found out that due diligence was observed – Lagos state government unseals Lekki mall where 28-year-old man d!ed in parking lot appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
