The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has confirmed that a 103-year-old woman has died in an inferno that razed a residential building on Bola Street, Oyingbo, on Friday.
Permanent secretary for LASEMA, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, in a statement, said the building was a bungalow, adding that six shops attached to it, eight rooms, and a mini flat, were affected by the inferno.
Mr Oke-Osanyintolu said, “Upon the arrival of the LRT at the incident scene by 12:13 hours, it was observed that a residential bungalow with two shops attached was engulfed by fire at the aforementioned location.
“The fire reportedly started in a room before spreading to other rooms within the building. However, the cause of the fire had yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
According to him, despite efforts by emergency responders, “one life—a 103-year-old centenarian (name withheld)—was lost to the incident,” adding that, “the recovered body has been handed over to the family for necessary action. The fire has been completely extinguished.”
“The Agency’s LRT and LASEMA Fire Unit, in collaboration with other responders, successfully curtailed and contained the fire. Dampening down has been concluded, while rescue and recovery operations have also been concluded.”
