A mysterious fire broke out on Wednesday night, devastating an unidentified factory in Ikeja, Lagos, and destroying items worth billions of naira.
Margaret Adeseye, Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, provided details on the incident: “Responding to a distress call at 8:41 p.m., the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service arrived to find a well-alight fire at Imperio International, located at 6 Ayodele Diyan Street, off Ladipo Oluwole Street, Ikeja.”
Adeseye explained that the fire originated from a warehouse block used to store products such as body sprays and creams.
“The fire has been confined to the warehouse block to prevent it from spreading to adjoining buildings within the business premises,” she added.
As of press time, the cause of the fire had not yet been determined, and firefighting operations were still underway. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported.
