A raging fire which broke out at Okeowo Somorin Street, Ifako, Gbagada, has reportedly destroyed buildings and cars worth several millions of naira.

According to an eyewitness, the incident happened at about 8p.m., adding that there was no loss of life.

 Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident.

 According to Oke-Osanyintolu, “The Agency responded to a distress call. The fire seems to have resulted from a power surge when electricity supply was restored.

“There are no casualties, but the flames spread very quickly to a number of vehicles and a generator within the premises.

“Joint responders of Lagos State Fire and the agency are working to curtail the spread.”
