Abuja(NAN) Fire broke out Thursday afternoon
on the second floor of the National Assembly
annex building.
The fire started in the legal department and
accounts departments of the National Assembly
Service Commission.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the FCT Fire Service deployed two fire engines to
bring the fire under control before it could spread
to other offices.
Panic-stricken staffers, who had vacated the
building, gathered some distance away to
discuss the incident.
The Director of FCT Fire Service, Mr Sani Saidu,
who confirmed the incident, told journalists that
the fire incident was caused by power outage as
a result of power fluctuation.
He said the situation had been brought under
control and no damage was done
“It was caused by electrical fault as a result of
power fluctuation. It was brought under control.
“No damage was done.’’
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
there was a similar fire incident at the National
Assembly Annex last year on the ground floor
which was also said to have been caused by an
electrical fault.
NAN reports that the National Assembly is
currently on a one week recess.(NAN)
