The fire is believed to have started around 3:30 a.m. shortly after the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) restored power.
However, the exact cause of the blaze remains unknown.



As of the time of filing this report, The Telegraph was unable to confirm the extent of the damage caused by the fire.
