An early morning fire outbreak at the Lagos State Government Staff Quarters on Odunsanmi Street, off WEMPCO Road, in Ogba, Lagos, has left a trail of destruction in its wake.
The fire, which started around 2:20 a.m., affected a two-bedroom apartment in Flat 5, located in Block 21 of the building, and destroyed property worth millions of naira.
According to Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyitolu, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the fire was caused by an electrical surge in the children’s room.
“The prompt and coordinated efforts of the Agency’s Response Team, Nigerian Police Force, and Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, ensured the fire was contained and extinguished quickly. Fortunately, there was no loss of life and injuries sustained in the incident,” he stated.
Oke-Osanyitolu added that residents were educated on the safe use of electrical appliances following the incident. Emergency personnel were still at the scene as of 5 a.m., ensuring the situation was fully under control.
