Several buildings and cars worth millions of naira were razed down by a fatal fire, yesterday night, in the Gbagada area of Lagos.
The incident, according to an eyewitness, happened at about 8p.m. in Okeowo Somorin Street. No loss of life was recorded.
The Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident.
According to Oke-Osanyintolu, “The Agency responded to a distress call. The fire seems to have resulted from a power surge when electricity supply was restored.
“There are no casualties, but the flames spread very quickly to a number of vehicles and a generator within the premises.
“Joint responders of Lagos State Fire and the agency are working to curtail the spread.”
