Below is a statement released by M-Net...
It has been confirmed that a fire broke out yesterday afternoon
(Saturday March 2, 2013) at the Ojoto Studios facility, which is home to
both M-Net and SuperSport productions in Nigeria. At this time, the
fire is under control and an investigation is underway to determine the
cause of the blaze. Whilst the fire appears to have caused significant
damage to the facility, which may result in some screening delays for
programs recorded on site, M-Net and SuperSport are already hard at work
with a view to resuming production as soon as possible in order to
minimize any impact on viewing audiences at home. Further M-Net,
SuperSport and MultiChoice are deeply thankful and grateful that no-one
was injured during this unfortunate incident.
See more after the cut...
Finally, M-Net has
confirmed that the fire will not affect its plans for next weekend when
it hosts its inaugural AfricaMagic Viewers' Choice Awards, in
association with MultiChoice, which is to be screened live from Lagos to
over 50 countries on the African continent.
More information on this matter will be communicated as it becomes
available. Members of the public are thanked for their concern and
messages of support already received. At this time, the site has been
closed and will remain this way until further notice
