There was a fire outbreak at the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) headquarters in Abuja, on Sunday morning, affecting some offices.

The Service confirmed the incident via its Twitter handle, adding that the fire has been contained by the Federal Fire Service and other agencies around the airport.

While the cause of the fire is under investigation, they have assured the public that the incident would not affect their services.

Efforts to get across to the public relations officer, to help gain access into the building, proved futile as he was not available to take his calls.
