There was a fire incident at the Makurdi branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria in Benue State. A portion of the bank went in flames in the early hours of Thursday.
Eyewitnesses said that they noticed the fire at the back of the bank which is located in the Old GRA area, Makurdi, Benue State capital.
“It was around 7:00 am this morning that we noticed the fire at the premises of the bank,” Stanley said.
It was further gathered that the fire started from the fuel dome of the bank but immediately became fierce and drew the attention of some workers who immediately raised the alarm.
When contacted, the Director of Benue State Fire Service, Donald Ikyaaza, confirmed the report and said that he received a distress call about the fire incident and promptly deployed his men to the scene.
