Contrarily to the earlier reports last night regarding the CBN head quarters engulfed by fire, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had clarified that its head office building wasn’t on fire.
The CBN in a statement explained that passersby who saw a pall of exhaust from the generator house far away from the building mistook the exhaust for fire smoke.
The statement reads;
“The CBN maintains a total security system that triggers safety alarms in the presence of smoke and so all fire engines and personnel received the alert only to discover that it was an unusual pall of exhaust.
“The affected generator has been rested and normal work has been uninterrupted while the engineers are working to rectify the issues with the generator. “We hereby assure the public that there has been no fire at our building.”
Una try shaa…. What on earth is such a terrible generator be doing in a Nation’s apex bank headquarters ? This smoke is so thick as to raise panic aside the health risks the obnoxious smoke poses to people around.
