Fire broke out Friday morning in one
of the offices on the last floor of the old Police Force Headquaters
building, on Moloney Street, Lagos, western Nigeria.
Items worth thousands of naira were
destroyed before men of the the Lagos State Fire Service prevented the
fire from spreading to other offices in the building,
The cause of the fire outbreak could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report.
Sources stated that surge in
eletricity may have caused the fire outbreak because, according to them,
the fire broke out moments after eletricity was restored to the
building.
“We started seeing smoke billowing
from one of the offices on the last floor of the building at about 7am
and all the polcemen on duty tried their best to have access into the
apartment but it was not possible because the office was locked. But we
thank God that the fire service men responded early to put out the fire
before it could spread to other offices in the building,” an witness
said.
Efforts made to speak with the
senior police officers at the scene proved futile as none of them was
wiilling to talk about the incident.
