On Tuesday, a portion of the multibillion-naira Blue Rail Mass Transportation project in Marina, Lagos State, was destroyed by fire.
According to reports, the fire damaged the part that housed the facility’s generator.
There were no fatalities or injuries since the fire was immediately extinguished by firemen from both the federal and state fire stations before it could spread to other areas.
The event was verified by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin.
In a text sent to our correspondent, he said “The fire at Marina started from the generator of the Blue Rail Mass Transit.”
He noted that the police patrol teams and the Fire Service were on the ground to control the crowd and put out the fire respectively.
“People are urged to go about their lawful duties and not panic as the situation is under control,” Hundeyin added.
