Fire burns down Lagos govt staff headquarters
Part of a three-story structure in the Lagos State Government Staff Quarters, located in the Ogba district of the state on Odunsanmi Street, off Wempco Road, was completely destroyed by fire.
This was verified in a statement released on Friday by Dr. Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency.
According to Oke-Osanyintolu, at approximately 2.39 am, LASEMA received distress calls via the toll-free emergency lines 767 and 112.
According to him, the Alausa command and control centre is where the agency launched its response squad.
“Upon immediate response, it was confirmed that one of the two-bedrooms in Flat 5, of Block 21, a two-winged, three-story building of 16 two-bedroom flats, was engulfed.
“Investigation conducted by the agency’s response team revealed that the fire originated from the children’s room as a result of a power surge.
“The prompt and coordinated efforts of the agency, Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, ensured the fire was contained,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
