Fire broke out Friday morning in one of the offices on the
last floor
of the old Police Force Headquarters 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 informed P.M.NEWS 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.
