Fire razed IC World Emporia Centre, a popular shopping mall in the Gwarimpa axis of Abuja, the federal capital territory (FCT) in the early hours of Wednesday (today).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports the cause of the fire incident at the popular Abuja shopping mall was yet to be ascertained at the time of filing this report.
A social media user, @Mister_Mash on X, formerly Twitter, shared a video showing fire burning through the roof of the building.
“4:13am currently happening right now in Gwarimpa, IC World Emporia on fire. I called the @Fedfireng emergency line 0803 200 3557, and the woman hung up on me. I called 112, they said I should call 122, I called 122, they said I should call 112,” @Mister_Mash wrote.
However, an hour later, the social media user shared an update with videos of the Nigerian fire service at the scene.
Finally 2 trucks from @Fedfireng have arrived. https://t.co/Nsgtve51v3 pic.twitter.com/aSuYYjVttx
