According to what Ndukwe told correctbn, preliminary investigation suggests that the fire, which was eventually put out before it could spread to other offices around the building, may have been caused by a power surge due to a sudden power supply to the building.

The police spokesperson added that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Ndatsu Aliyu, has ordered the cordoning off of the scene and launch of a thorough investigation to further ascertain the actual cause of the fire outbreak and damages incurred.
