A night fire incident at the premises of Ikeja Airport Hotel in Lagos  on Thursday night has reportedly  burnt down three vehicles with a building within the hotel premises affected.

According to eye-witness accounts  , the outbreak  did not affect the hotel building itself. A Toyota coaster bus with  plate number, LND133XW; a Honda civic saloon car with number plate, AKR234LZ; and a Cadillac Escalade car with an unknown registration number were  all reportedly affected.

Confirming the incident, Director General of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, said in a statement last night  that a building within  Airport  hotel premises was also affected but the fire has been extinguished.

He said: “We received multiple reports of a fire outbreak at Ikeja Airport Hotel along Obafemi Awolowo Way in Ikeja.

“On arrival at the above scene, it was determined that three (3) vehicles had caught fire, one Toyota coaster bus (LND133XW), a Honda civic saloon car (AKR234LZ) and a Cadillac Escalade car with unknown registration number.

“The resultant fire affected the Tour Africa Transport Company within the airport hotel premises and not the hotel building itself.

“The flames have since been extinguished by our responders and the Lagos State Fire Service and an investigation is being carried out to ascertain the cause of the fire.

“We appeal for calm and will provide further updates.”
