A fire broke out at the headquarters of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria in Abuja on Saturday, engulfing parts of the building.

The fire reportedly started on the fourth floor of the bank’s headquarters, located opposite the Central Bank of Nigeria, before spreading across the upper floors of the structure.

A Facebook user, Praises Chukwu, who shared photos from the scene, said firefighters were battling the blaze but were struggling to contain it as it spread.

“Mortgage Bank of Abuja, opposite CBN, currently on fire. The fire service team are putting up their best to take it out, but the fire seems to be spreading across the top floor of the building,” the post read.

As of the time of filing this report, the cause of the fire had not been established, and there was no immediate information on any casualties or the extent of the damage caused by the incident.

Authorities had yet to issue an official statement, while emergency responders continued efforts to contain the blaze.
