She explained that the distress call to Olowoira was received at about 12:08hrs, and the Alausa fire station was en-route the scene from Opebi, where it had just concluded an operation.

“The Olowoira fire incident occurred at the front flat of the upper floor of a storey building. The severe fire was however confined to the flat it originated from by the firemen. There was neither injury nor death in the combated fire”, she said.

Adeseye advised Lagosians to stop destroying government’s properties since the cost was also borne by the tax payers.
