A fire outbreak has destroyed part of a seven-storey commercial building belonging to AG Leventis, Iddo House, Iddo, via Oyingbo, Lagos.
The fire reportedly destroyed property worth millions of naira.
It was gathered that the fire started at about 11 a.m. and affected the archive room on the first floor, measuring approximately 108 square meters.
The building is occupied by Nigeria Bottling Company PLC.
While investigations are ongoing, preliminary findings suggest that the fire was caused by self-ignition due to rising temperatures in the confined archival space.
The Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, confirmed the incident, noting that therewere no casualties, but valuable properties worth millions of naira were lost.
