Read Time:55 Second
A fire has burned part of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) building in Marina, Lagos. The fire happened on Monday night. Videos shared on social media show part of the 20-story building on fire. People around the area called for help and tried to organize rescue efforts.
Some minutes later, firefighters arrived at the scene to put out the fire.
Confirming the incident, Shakiru Amodu, head of public education of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, told TheCable that the inferno was quickly curtailed.
“Nothing serious, more like a fire scare as it was curtailed in good time. Just the inverter battery section,” Amodu said.
In September 2025, fire engulfed Afriland Towers on Broad Street in Lagos Island, a multiple storey building that houses offices of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and United Capital Plc (UCAP), a branch of UBA, and other financial institutions.
Four members of staff of FIRS and six employees of United Capital died during the fire incident. The fire was said to have started in the inverter room located in the basement of the storey building.
