First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has condoled with Lagos State Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the families of victims affected by Tuesday’s fire at Afriland Building on Broad Street, Lagos Island.
In a statement issued Thursday in Abuja, Mrs Tinubu also commiserated with the management and staff of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), United Capital, and United Bank for Africa (UBA).
“I condole with Gov. Sanwo-Olu, the people of the state, and affected organisations, including FIRS and UBA, over the tragic fire at Afriland Towers that claimed ten lives.
“May God Almighty comfort the families, colleagues, and loved ones of the departed and the injured during this time of deep grief and pain,” the First Lady added in her message.
She also prayed for the peaceful repose of the deceased, quick healing for the injured, and strength for those left behind to bear the weight of such an irreplaceable loss.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the incident was one of two separate fire outbreaks in the Lagos Island Business District on Tuesday, which injured many and destroyed goods worth millions. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
