Nigerian breweries in Iganmu gutted by fire

An early morning fire razed Nigerian Breweries Limited in the Iganmu area of Lagos State on Christmas Day.

The blaze is said to have engulfed the factory section of the company.

Officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said the fire started at about 5.30am on Sunday.

It has, however, been put under control by men of the Lagos State Fire Service supported by the Brewery fire team and other nearby corporate organisations.

There were no injuries or fatalities arising from the fire, the company said in a statement by its spokesman, Kufre Ekanem.

The statement added that only empty bottles, plastic crates and some sections of the bottle holding bay were impacted by the fire.

Brewery operations were not disrupted by the incidence.

Ekanem added in the statement: “We thank all stakeholders who have called to clarify or support the Lagos Brewery at this time.”
