A mysterious fire has torched a one-story property at 36 Awolowo Way, by the Under Bridge, Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos, destroying stuff worth millions of nairas.
The latest incident occurred less than 12 hours after a petrol truck exploded late Tuesday night in the state’s Iju-Ishaga area.
According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred at about 9.45 am on Wednesday.
Officials stated that no casualties had been recorded.
Affected traders were spotted attempting to save their items from the flaming structure.
Mrs. Magaret Adeseye, Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, verified the event and stated that “the situation is under control.”
According to Adeseye, “a commercial one-story building gut-fired from the ground floor is used as a store in the buzzing city capital, Computer Village.
“The fire has been confined to the ground floor; it emanated from ongoing efforts to access the seat of fire and curtailed it from spreading to the upper floor and nearby structures within the smoke log environment.
