The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) have said the fire that engulfed the main auditorium of Christ Embassy Church Headquarters, Oregun, Ikeja, has been put under control and cause is unknown.
Mrs Margret Adeseye, Director, LSFRS, confirmed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
Adeseye said the fire impacted the main auditorium of the church and escalated because the church’s fire service thought they could handle the situation by themselves without calling the Lagos fire service.
She said the cause of the fire could not be ascertained at the moment until after proper investigation.
LagosPost reported that the church caught fire on Sunday morning with videos and pictures of the incident are circulating on online.
The fire incident hampered free flow of traffic as vehicles scrambled for space to move through a narrow road.
