A fire broke out at Trademore Estate, a famous area off the Umar Musa Yar'Adua/Airport Road in Abuja.

The outbreak began early Monday morning.

The cause of the fire remains unclear, but a resident identified as Joe reported being alerted to the incident around 4 a.m.

“We are not certain about the cause, but an electrical fault cannot be ruled out,” he said. “Efforts were made to contact both the Federal Fire Service and the Federal Capital Territory Fire Service, but the situation was intense.”

Joe added that residents eventually reached out to the fire service team at Dunamis Church, who arrived at the scene around 5 a.m.

“After two hours of battling the blaze, personnel from the Federal Fire Service stations at EFCC and Sauka successfully extinguished the fire,” Joe later confirmed to Vanguard.
