Following the outbreak of fire on Monday evening at the Wuse 2 Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the agency has relocated the Data Centre and the office of the Combined Inter Agency Task Force.
The two offices were housed in the two-storey Costa Hall, where the fire broke out, and have been relocated to the Commission’s Jabi new headquarters.
“The value of the damaged items, mostly ICT consumables, is in a few millions. However, a detailed analysis is being awaited,” EFCC says in a release on its website.
“It would be recalled that men of the Federal Fire Service, Wuse Zonal office, on Monday, 19th November, 2018 successfully subdued the inferno that almost razed down the building.
“The fire fighters, led by the Sector Commander, Melone Onyekachi, arrived the Wuse 2 office of the Commission when the Service was alerted of the fire by the Incident Duty Officer of the Commission, Kayode Oyetunde, at 1910 hours.
“The fire started at the former newsroom, which now serves as storage for ICT equipment/consumables that were retrieved from the Commission’s former offices scattered across the capital city,” the release added.
