Headquarters Annex, Kam Selem Street, Obalende, Lagos.
PUNCH correspondent learnt that the fire, which started at about
6.30am, consumed several offices on the topmost floor of the force
annex building.
PUNCH reports that the fire, whose cause had yet to be ascertained,
apart from destroying property, did not claim any life.
An eyewitness told The PUNCH that the fire might have been caused by
an electrical surge, adding that the late response of fire servicemen
also worsened the situation.
It was gathered that officials of the National Emergency Management
Agency, alongside firefighters later arrived at the scene to curtail
the inferno.
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for NEMA, South West Zone, Ibrahim
Farinloye, were not successful as of the time of filing this report.
Normalcy is gradually returning to the area.
