 Goods worth millions destroyed as fire guts building in Computer village


Good worth millions of naira have been destroyed following a fire outbreak on a storey commercial building on Somoye Osundairo Street in Computer Village, Ikeja area of Lagos state in the wee hours of Tuesday, January 20. 


In a statement released, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency said that the incident happened about 1:55 am prompting the immediate activation of the state’s emergency response plan from its Command and Control Centre in Alausa.


“Upon arrival of the LASEMA Response Team at the incident scene, it was observed that a fire outbreak had occurred in a one-storey commercial building accommodating dealers in computers and accessories in Computer Village, Ikeja.


Responders observed active flames and dense smoke, indicating intense combustion within the structure. The high volume of combustible materials contributed to the rapid spread of fire,” the statement read 


While no fatalities were reported, with some firefighters getting minor injuries, LASEMA said it has begun an investigation as the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.


Providing more details about the incident, the agency explained that the entire upper floor of the building was completely razed by the fire and that all goods and properties stored there were destroyed.


It explained that its response team conducted a risk assessment, cordoned off the affected area, and coordinated a multi-agency response involving the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, LASAMBUS, and the Nigeria Police Force to prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.


“All goods and properties worth millions of naira stored therein were totally destroyed by the conflagration.


Firefighting operations have successfully suppressed and contained the fire within the affected building, preventing escalation to neighbouring structures,” the agency said
