A building located at 33 Creek Road, Apapa, Lagos, which allegedly belongs to the late businessman, Alex Ibru, was yesterday razed down by fire.
The cause of the fire, at press time, has yet to be determined.
About 4 o’clock in the afternoon, smoke was observed pouring from the building. No one initially suspected it was a fire.
However, as clouds of black smoke continued to hang over the building, those nearby raised the alarm. It eventually turned into a conflagration that completely burnt down the two-storey building.
As the fire became intense, the last floor collapsed on the middle floor which in turn collapsed on the ground floor.
