A fire outbreak occurred on Friday evening at a storey building housing the Ago Medical Centre, located off Ago Palace Way in Okota, Lagos.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) responded swiftly to the incident after receiving distress calls through its emergency lines at 6:29 p.m.
The agency’s response team from Oshodi arrived at the scene at 6:50 p.m. and found parts of the hospital engulfed in flames.
According to preliminary findings, the fire started due to a power surge that caused a spark when public electricity was restored.
Emergency responders, including the LASEMA Response Team, LASEMA Fire Unit, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos Neighbourhood and Security Corps, and the Nigeria Police Force, worked together to contain the fire and stop it from spreading to nearby buildings.
There were no casualties or injuries reported.
Efforts to fully extinguish the fire were still ongoing at the time of the report, with response and recovery operations in progress.
