What the GM of LASBCA is saying

Mr Oki said, “He got an approval for a 15-storey building and he exceeded his limit. I am on ground here and the materials he used are so inferior and terrible.

“The materials he used, the reinforcement, are so terrible. He got approval for 15 floors but built 21.

“I think he has been locked up. He has been arrested before now.”

He added that rescue operations are still ongoing as four people have been rescued, while three others have died.

 “We are still here and have four machines working as at this moment,” he added.
