It was learnt that the inferno resulted from a power
surge in a section of the Banquet Hall around 5am before it extended to the
other parts.
It took the efforts of
the officials of the Lagos State Fire Service and the state’s Emergency
Management Agency to prevent the fire from spreading to adjoining buildings.
It was gathered that
firefighters from the Alausa station battled the inferno with three trucks of
water and was later put out around 6am.
An emergency official,
who spoke with PUNCH Metro on condition of anonymity, said operation
ended at the hotel around 9am, adding that nobody was injured.
“With quick response from all emergency agencies, we were able
to salvage the situation. The fire was relatively much and property worth
millions of naira was destroyed. But no life was lost and nobody injured,” he added.
