“……..life was lost……..”

 

In the early hours of Friday, a fire incident was recorded at the National Youth Service Corps in Abuja.

 

The commission appreciated God for the fact that no life was lost during the incident as it only cut the third floor of the six-storey building.

 

These statements were made by the Director of Press Relations, Eddy Megwa, on Friday.

 

He said that the fire was immediately put out by the Federal Capital Territory and Federal Fire Service Departments when the building started burning at about 07.30 am.
