A seven-storey commercial building in the Iddo area of Lagos Island was engulfed by fire on Thursday morning.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) reported that the fire originated from an archival room on the first floor of the AG Leventis building, which houses several businesses, including banks and the Nigeria Bottling Company.
Firefighters from Sari Iganmu and Ebute Elefun Fire Stations quickly responded and contained the fire before it could spread further. LSFRS Director Margaret Adeseye attributed the cause to rising room temperature, leading to self-ignition.
No casualties were recorded, and investigations are ongoing to determine further details of the incident.
