Fire Guts Ecobank In Surulere


Lagos – Business activities came to an abrupt end on Thursday at the Aguda, Surulere, Lagos branch of Ecobank Plc, following an early morning fire which damaged part of its building.
The four vehicles and four units of air conditioners were also destroyed in the fire suspected to have been caused by a malfunctioning generator.
A worker of the bank said that the fire started around 7a.m. as “we were busy preparing for our daily activities when one of the security guards alerted us of the fire, saying he needed a fire extinguisher.
“When we realised that the fire was getting out of control, we got more fire extinguishers but, unfortunately, we were unable to put off the fire and so we called the Lagos State Fire Service and they arrived promptly.”
