Speaking at the event, Oba Owolabi Adeniyi, the Igbobi Sabe has called for an end to such a disaster that had claimed many lives.

The monarch expressed deep concern over the frequent incidences of building colapse within his domain.

Specifically, the monarch wants the government to put necessary machinery in place to check against people building houses that are not up to the required standard to prevent building collapse.
