A section of the multi-billion naira Blue Rail Mass Transit project at Marina, Lagos State, has been gutted by fire.
It was learnt that the section, which houses a generator used in the facility, was affected by the fire on Tuesday.
However, no life was lost and no one was injured, as the fire was quickly put out by firefighters from both the Federal and State fire stations before it could spread to other sections.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
