The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service has offered the reason why the fire that engulfed the main auditorium of Christ Embassy Church Headquarters, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos State escalated.
Margret Adeseye, Director, LSFRS, revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Lagos.
Adeseye said the fire impacted the main auditorium of the church.
She said that the fire escalated because the church’s fire service thought they could handle the situation by themselves without recourse to the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service.
She said the cause of the fire could not be ascertained at the moment until after proper investigation.
Meanwhile, armed Law Enforcement agents including the Nigeria Police and Army, have been drafted to the premises of the church to safeguard property from looting.
