“The inferno which lasted for more than three hours is now under control and has not affected the studio, equipment and other sensitive operational areas,” the post read in part.
Preliminary investigation by engineers reportedly revealed that fire might have been as a result of high electricity voltage.
“The OB Van, equipment and office furniture have also been saved from the inferno,” it added.
