A fire broke out at Trademore Estate, a well-known neighborhood off the Umar Musa Yar’Adua/Airport Road in Abuja, early Monday morning.
The cause of the fire is still unclear, but a resident named Joe reported being alerted to the incident around 4 a.m.
“We’re not sure about the cause, but an electrical fault is a possibility,” he said. “We tried to contact both the Federal Fire Service and the Federal Capital Territory Fire Service, but the situation was intense.”
Joe added that residents eventually reached out to the fire service team at Dunamis Church, who arrived at the scene around 5 a.m.
“After two hours of battling the blaze, personnel from the Federal Fire Service stations at EFCC and Sauka managed to extinguish the fire,” Joe later confirmed to Vanguard.
