Fire Razes A Section Of Blue Rail Line In Lagos

A section of the newly-inaugurated Blue Rail Mass Transit project at Marina, Lagos State, has been gutted by fire.

The incident which occurred on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, had caused people to take to their heels, causing a stampede.

It was gathered that many misconstrued the fire incident as an explosion and scampered for safety.

But reports said that the fire affected only the section that housed a generator used in the facility.

Also, 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.
