Items valued at billions of naira were destroyed Wednesday night when a fire broke out at a Lagos business.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue agency’s Director, Margaret Adeseye, stated that the fire was already ablaze when the agency arrived at Imperio International, which is situated at 6 Ayodele Diyan Street, off Ladipo Oluwole Street, Ikeja, Lagos, after responding to a distress call at 8:41 p.m.
“It was found that the fire started in a warehouse block that was used for the storage of products, including body sprays and creams, among others,” Adeseye explained. In order to keep the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, it has been kept within the warehouse block.
As of this writing, the source of the fire was still unknown, firefighting was still going on, and no injuries had been recorded.
