“Preliminary investigations conducted by LASEMA’s Eagle Response Team revealed that the immediate cause of the inferno was a power surge which led to a spark when public electricity power supply was restored.”
He said no lives were lost nor injuries recorded in the incident.
Oke-Osanyintolu noted that the fire was contained through collaborative efforts of the LASEMA Response Team (LRU) Fire Unit and other responders, to prevent it from spreading to adjoining buildings in the area.
The LASEMA boss said: “The fire is still raging and responders are battling to put it off.
“Response and Recovery Operations are in progress.”
