The building, located on Gerald Road in the city's affluent Ikoyi neighborhood, is a construction site for luxury apartments. It is unclear how many people were inside when it fell."I thought it was an earthquake when I rushed out of my apartment just after 3 p.m. I felt the building move and knew something was wrong," Olu Apata, a nearby resident and the president of the Nigerian Bar Association, told CNN.
