Fire has razed a section of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) House located in Marina, Lagos.
The fire incident occurred on Monday night, with multiple
videos on social media showing a section of the 20-storey building in flames as
passers-by raised an alarm for rescue operation.
Some minutes later, firefighters arrived at the scene to put
out the fire.
Confirming the incident, Shakiru Amodu, head of public
education of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, told TheCable that the
inferno was quickly curtailed.
“Nothing serious, more like a fire scare as it was curtailed
in good time. Just the inverter battery section,” Amodu said.
In September 2025, fire engulfed Afriland Towers on Broad
Street in Lagos Island, a multiple-storey building that houses offices of the
Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and United Capital Plc (UCAP), a branch
of UBA, and other financial institutions.
Four staff members of FIRS and six employees of United
Capital died during the fire incident.
The fire was said to have started in the inverter room
located in the basement of the storey building
