A serious fire outbreak destroyed properties worth millions of naira at a building located at 1, Anore Street, Ajegunle, in the Boundary area of Lagos State.

The incident was made known on Thursday by the Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, through a post on his Facebook page.

According to him, early findings showed that the fire started after a sudden rise in electricity power.

Officials from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency and other first responders were still at the scene after the fire was brought under control.

The incident has left many residents shocked, as valuable items inside the building were destroyed, while investigations continue to determine the full cause of the outbreak.
