Fire Destroys Nigeria Customs Service Office in Lagos
On September 28, a fire broke out at the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Western Marine Command office in Apapa, Lagos, destroying property and office equipment valued at millions of naira. The incident began around 10:23 a.m. due to an electrical surge in the conference room, quickly spreading to other areas of the building.
Officers on duty attempted to control the fire, which caused significant panic within the command. The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service arrived at approximately 10:45 a.m. to assist in extinguishing the flames.
The extent of the damage is still under assessment, but it is confirmed that millions of naira worth of property and equipment were lost. This incident coincided with the arrival of the newly deployed Deputy Comptroller of Customs, Timothy Jonah, who was taking over responsibilities from his predecessor.
