Responding to a question on the incident during a phone interview with our correspondent, Amiola Adebayo, Head of Operations, FFF FCT, said firefighters are working hard to completely extinguish the flames.

“The flames gutted part of the NAF Base, and our men are here putting out the flames, and we’re working,” Adebayo added.
