When contacted, The Acting Director, Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency, Mrs. Florence Wenegieme confirmed the incident.

In her quick response to the incident, she added that hoodlums had taken over the place and were obstructing the firefighters from doing their work.

She said, “The incident happened not quite long. I can’t tell you the cause but I can tell you that three persons have died but we are yet to take out the corpses because hoodlums have taken over the place. They also did not allow our men to do their jobs. They (our men) have parked somewhere waiting for the police to come.”
