The Truth About Reports That Fire Razed Airport Hotel

The truth about the reports that Airport Hotel, Lagos has been razed by fire is out.
The true account of the fire incident is revealed in a statement titled “PRELIMINARY REPORT FIRE OUTBREAK WITHIN IKEJA AIRPORT HOTEL PREMISES” by LASEMA.

The report reads

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
