Reports say fire has brought down a section of Christ
Embassy Church on Oregun Road, Ikeja, Lagos.
The incident, according to The Punch, started at about
9.00pm on Wednesday, January 14, 2016 after an
electrical spark in the switch room of the church.
But for the swift response by officials of the Lagos State
Fire Service and some church workers, the story may
have been different.
An official of the fire fighters said: “Around 9.08pm on
Wednesday, we got a call that there was a fire incident
in the church. We deployed two 10,000 litres of water
from our stations in Ikeja and Alausa. It was discovered
that the fire was on the topmost floor of the church’s
three-storeyed building.
“There had been an electrical spark in the switch room,
which triggered off the fire. In about 30 minutes, we put
it out.”
At the cross over service last year, there were reports
that the church, popular for the miracles being
performed by its pastor, was charging N1,000 before
having people enter the church.
