The headquarters of the Corporate Affairs Commission in Abuja has been gutted by fire.
The building is located in the highbrow Maitama District of the territory, an area which plays host to several government buildings and other private concerns.
The Registrar General of CAC, Abubakar Garba, who confirmed the incident, said no document was lost and no casualties.
” The fire which was as a result of power surge began at 10.20 am, the fire was caused by the outer units of the split Air Conditioners on the 6th floor in the main building.
“ The sound attracted the attention of the few personnel within the premises and they immediately mobilized to quench the fire using fire extinguishers and fire hose reels within the building.
“ The fire had descended through the outer AC ducts to the 5th and 4th floors which necessitated a call to FCT Fire Service and they promptly responded,” Garba said.
