An early morning fire has consumed a three-storey building located at the Monkey Village area of Amuwo Odofin, Lagos State.

No life was lost in the inferno which witnesses say started from a warehouse at the building fully stocked with chemicals.

Daily Sun learnt that some residents of the area noticed smoke emitting from the warehouse which was locked in the early hours of Wednesday, but nobody thought it was something serious until the fire started.

A witness, identified as Michael Idemudia, said the chemical had been parked inside the warehouse for close to a year, and that improper storage may have caused the chemical to ignite the fire that consumed the building.
