Fire Razes Multimillion Naira Stu
dio In Lagos
Kunle Ajayi
At exactly one week, when Lagosians are trying to put past behind them the ugly man made multiple auto crash that claimed dozens of lives at Otedola Estate along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, another disaster struck at Omole junction area of Lagos causing panic to the passersby and the residents in the neighbour. The Ultima Studio, a multimillion naira Studio, where MTN records its ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ and ‘Project Fame’ are being recorded, was completely razed down.
The cause of the fire could not be immediately ascertained because everybody was running for his safety and the Studio officials were not on ground, or probably lost in the crowd, to give explanation on what caused the fire.
It is still unfortunate that our uniform men have not mastered the skills of controlling crowd when a mishap of this nature occurs. The mammoth crowd at the premises and vicinity made access to the scene tedious for the fire fighters. The Mobile Police had to fire into the air to scare onlookers away to pave way for the Fire Service vehicles.
Thank God that the incident did not claim live but the worth of properties lost would be running to billion on Naira considering the sophisticated studio equipments and the massive building located at prime area of Lagos.
