Christ Embassy Church fire under control, says LSFRS
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service has said that the fire that engulfed the main auditorium of Christ Embassy Church Headquarters, Oregun, Ikeja, has been put under control.
Director, LSFRS, Margret Adeseye, made the confirmation on Sunday in Lagos.
Mrs Adeseye said the fire impacted the main auditorium of the church.
She said that the fire escalated because the church’s fire service thought they could handle the situation by themselves without recourse to the Lagos fire service.
She said the cause of the fire could not be ascertained at the moment until after proper investigation.
Earlier, the internet was awash with videos of the church on fire with onlookers worrying over the extent of damage to the auditorium.
