Report coming from Abuja indicates that fire gutted a section of the World Trade Center building located in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
According to the report, the incident happened on Monday.
A source said the fire started from the top of the skyscraper with thick smoke billowing from the pinnacle.
Though firefighters and other emergency responders were drafted to the scene, the General Manager, WTC Abuja, Ibukun Adeogun, however explained that the fire had already been extinguished by internal high-pressure sprinklers in the building.
Adeogun said, “There was a minor fire outbreak at one of the floors close to the top floor near the shaft. The building is a high-tech building and the sprinklers put out the fire. Because the fire occurred close to the top floor and the extraction system was on the roof, smoke was coming out even after the fire had been extinguished.”
Since it began in 1939 in New York, United States, the World Trade Centre brand has since become global trade hubs in more than 90 countries including Nigeria.
