A very serious fire outbreak has occurred in Abule Egba area of Lagos State. The inferno, which happened on Sunday evening, reportedly destroyed properties worth millions of Naira.
According to reports, the unfortunate incident precisely took place at the Ekoro area of the busy Abule Egba, a suburb of Lagos State along the Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway.
It was reportedly caused by the vandalization of a petroleum pipeline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
As at the time of filing this report, Business Post could not confirm if there was any human casualty. However, authorities have already been contacted to bring the situation under control. Men of the Nigeria Police Force were already at the scene to prevent looting by thugs, who might want to take advantage of the inferno to wreck further havoc.
