No fewer than three people have been killed as a fire razed the High Commission of Canada in the early afternoon of Monday in Abuja.
According to the eyewitness account, the fire broke out while the embassy’s power generating plant was being repaired, engulfing and killing three people who were part of the technical crew, while one person escaped through the roof of the powerhouse.
The source also disclosed that others were blown out of the powerhouse due to the force of the sudden fire explosion.
Staff who ran out of the embassy for refuge outside the gates told the Tribune that the fire broke out around noon as firefighting trucks moved in to put out the flames while rescue operations were ongoing.
It was observed that staff of the embassy were being moved to safety under trees and other safe spaces in the embassy enclosure as an ambulance drove in to evacuate those affected.
