A heavy fire has gutted a three story building along Area 10, Garki, in Abuja in the late hours of January 22, 2014, Wednesday.
The building houses the district Union Bank of Nigeria on the second floor, and is opposite the popular Cyprian Ekwensi house known as the ‘Art and Culture Centre.’
“A spark of fire from the second floor could have resulted in the heavy inferno,”a security guard who works in the building said.
The Fire Service were however able to respond rapidly and were able to control the fire which had caused some major damages. As at the time of filing this report, officials of the Fire Service had not released an official statement.
