A fire broke out in a one-story building at number 36, Awolowo Way, near the Under Bridge in Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos, causing extensive damage to items valued at millions of naira. This incident occurred 12 hours after a gas tanker explosion in the Iju-Ishaga area.

According to eyewitness reports, the fire began around 9:45 am on Wednesday, but fortunately, there have been no reported casualties. Affected traders were observed attempting to salvage their goods from the burning structure.

Mrs Margaret Adeseye, Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, confirmed the incident, stating that efforts were underway to contain the fire on the ground floor of the commercial building. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

I will provide updates on the situation as they become available.
