Emergency services responded quickly after a fire broke out late Wednesday night at the Radio Nigeria building on Plot No. 35, Ikoyi Road, Lagos, causing considerable worry.
Authorities have begun investigating the event, but the origin of the fire is still unknown.
According to Margaret Adeseye, the organization’s director, the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service received a distress call around 5:30 PM.
Firefighters from the Dolphin, Ebute Elefun, and Oba Onitolo Fire Stations rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire that had spread to the building’s studio area.
Efforts are still being made to completely contain the fire and determine the extent of the damage.
Adeseye noted: “The public is assured that collaborative efforts with the Federal Fire Service and other emergency responders, including the Nigerian Police, have brought the situation under control, confining the fire to the studio section of the U-shaped one-story building where it started. While the cause of the fire is yet unknown and no casualties have been reported, damping down of the fire embers continues.”
