JUST IN: Fire guts NIPOST headquarters in Abuja
A fire outbreak has occurred at the headquarters of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) in Abuja.
The main cause of the fire which began around 9am on Wednesday, cannot be ascertained.
It was gathered that a large number of workers of the agency were in their offices when the fire broke out.
The Federal Capital Territory Fire Service personnel were, however, on hand to contain the fire, which attracted a large crowd at the busy Area 10, Garki, in Abuja.
Efforts by our correspondent to get information from officials of the service, on what led to the incident, were abortive.
A security officer, who pleaded anonymity, said that the fire started at about 8:40 a.m.
An eyewitness, Mr Adamu Bala, said he drew the attention of the security officers guarding the building when he saw smoke coming from the back of the building.
