What could have been the source of the inferno was still unknown as the time of gathering report.

The fire brigade services have been called to extinguish the fire which broke out from the pinnacle of the edifice.

According to the General Manager of WTC, Ibukun Adeogun, “There was a minor fire outbreak at one of the floors close to the top floor near the shaft. The building is a high-tech building and the sprinklers put out the fire. Because the fire occurred close to the top floor and the extraction system was on the roof, smoke was coming out even after the fire had been extinguished.”
