Though there has been no official reaction yet from the church, and the cause of fire is still unknown at this time, witnesses say officials of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service responded swiftly and rushed to the scene in efforts to salvage the situation.
The church is just a stone’s throw from that of House of God Church International Ministries founded by Pastor Chris Okotie.
