Fire guts EFCC office in Abuja
Though no lives were lost, property running into millions of naira was destroyed in the incident.
A statement by the commission’s acting spokesman, Tony Orilade, said the damage would have been worse if not for the timely arrival and intervention of men of the Federal Fire Service.
“The fire started at the former newsroom, which now serves as storage for ICT equipment that were retrieved from the commission’s former offices scattered across Abuja.

“The former newsroom is in the Costa Hall, which was inaugurated by Dr. Antonio Costa in 2007. The building currently houses the Data Centre and the Combined Inter Agency Task Force.”
According to the statement, two officers attached to the Combined Inter-Agency Task Force who were trapped on the second floor of the building were rescued unharmed before the fire was eventually subdued.
The firefighters who were led by the Sector Commander, Melone Onyekachi, arrived at the scene when the service was alerted to the fire by the Incident Duty Officer of the commission, Kayode Oyetunde.
