The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency has said a two-storey building was gutted by fire in the Ebute-Metta area of the state.

The agency’s Permanent Secretary, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed this in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday in Lagos.

Oke-Osanyintolu said the incident happened at No. 14 Okobaba Street, off Ibadan Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

He said the agency responded to a distress call through the 767 and 112 toll-free lines at about 11.50 a.m. (Sunday).

“Upon arrival of the LASEMA Response Team at the incident scene, the LRT discovered that a two-storey residential building was engulfed by fire.

“Further investigations revealed that the fire, which has not been ascertained, reportedly started in a flat on the top floor.

“No casualties or injuries were recorded during the incident. The fire affected a two-bedroom flat, one unit of a room, and a parlour self-contained and single room,” he said.

He said the fire had been subdued due to the quick intervention of the LRT, LASEMA Fire Unit, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service and the Federal Fire Service.

“Dampening down and operation is currently ongoing,” he added.
