A fire incident occurred at Flux Logistics warehouse in the Ikeja Area of Lagos State and left a property destroyed.
It was gathered that no casualty was recorded.
The fire affected the company’s warehouse located on Sapara Street, off Oba Akran Avenue, Ikeja, where Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service battled to contain it.
It was reported that the fire started around 08:58am on Sunday morning.
The Director, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Adeseye Margaret, said the fire was curtailed by Lagos Fire Crews from Ikeja, Alausa and Bolade, and assured that everything was done to ensure the fire did not spread beyond the store.
Also, the National Emergency Management Agency through its Lagos Territorial Office confirmed the fire.
Ibrahim Farinloye who is the state Coordinator of NEMA Territorial Office said the fire consumed the whole company which housed imported drinks and few foreign materials.
He said, “It was reported that the staff members on duty could have prevented the spread of the fire from the beginning but the fear of the owners could not make them break into the warehouse.
“Until the owners arrived and ordered them to break the doors but the situation had gone out of hands.”
According to him, the Berger Paints Fire Service worked assiduously to prevent the fire from spreading to SKG Pharmaceutical Company.
