A fire has destroyed a structure in the Mile 2 district of Lagos that has not yet been identified.
Late yesterday, the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) said.
It reported that the building is in the Amuwo Odofin Industrial Estate.
The government didn’t give any further information, but it did say that it was currently dealing with the situation.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service is now putting out a fire at the Amuwo Odofin Industrial Estate in Mile 2, Lagos.
In a statement on its X (previously Twitter) account, it said, “We’re assuring the public that we’re currently on top of the situation, as the public does not need to exercise fear.”
Fire Breakouts
Channels TV said that this happened a month after a fire broke out at the Great Nigeria Insurance (GNI) House at 47/57 Martins Street on December 24, 2025.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, said that eight people died in the terrible fire that destroyed the 25-story high-rise on Lagos Island.
Early investigations point to human error as the cause of the incident, notably unsafe generator use and refueling on various floors.
The fire got worse because there were flammable items kept in the structure, which had been turned into warehouses.
There were also reports of structural problems, such as a part of the structure falling down during the fire and trapping numerous people.
On January 20, a fire broke out at a storey business building on Somoye Osundairo Street in Computer Village, Ikeja region of Lagos State, destroying products worth millions of naira.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency claimed that the event happened about 1:55 a.m. on Tuesday. This led to the immediate activation of the state’s emergency response plan from its Command and Control Center in Alausa.
A few days later, a fire broke out and destroyed a one-story shopping center on Amore Street in Ajegunle Boundary, Lagos, that housed garments dealers. Millions of naira worth of items were lost.
