Photos: Union Bank building in Abuja gutted by fire

Union Bank building in U.T.C Area 10 in Abuja was gutted by fire this evening, The last floor of the 3-storey building was completely razed and the popular Abuja furniture store, Hadar Situare was also affected in the fire. Millions of Naira worth of furniture was destroyed.

The fire was eventually put out by the combined team work of the Airforce fire fighters & the Federal Fire Fighters. It took seventeen trucks of water to put the fire out. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. See more photos after the cut...
