No casualty as fire guts section of FRCN building in Lagos

A fire outbreak at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in the Ikoyi area of Lagos has reportedly damaged the studio of the station.

The fire reportedly broke out Wednesday evening at the studio section of the radio station.

The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service said it was alerted about the fire incident at about 5:30 pm, noting that firefighters from Dolphin and Ebute Elefun were the first responders.

“The public is, however, assured that the collaborative efforts with the Federal Fire Service and other emergency responders, including the Nigerian Police, have put the situation under control and confined it to the studio section of the U-shaped, one-storey building where it emanated,” a post by the agency on X reads.

“While the cause of the fire is yet unknown, with no report of any casualty, damping down of the fire embers continues. Update to follow as situation demands.”
