Several structures at the Nigerian Air Force Base on Airport Road in the Federal Capital Territory were destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning, causing fear.
As of the time of publication, the source of the fire that destroyed the military base next to the national headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service was unknown.
Our correspondent, however, can attest to the prompt action of Federal Fire Service personnel in the fight against the fire.
Amiola Adebayo, Head of Operations, FFF FCT, responded to a question about the event during a phone conversation with our correspondent by saying that firemen are putting great effort into extinguishing the fire.
Adebayo said, “The fire gutted part of the NAF Base, and our men are here putting out the fire, and we’re working hard to completely quench the fire.
“However, I can’t confirm the cause of the fire outbreak yet, but we’ll put out a statement once our findings are concluded.”
