An electronic billboard situated at Allen junction, in Ikeja, Lagos went down in flames around 9am yesterday, Friday August 23rd.
A security official at 1, Aromire avenue which houses the digital billboard told NET ’Smoke started coming out from the top of the billboard and then fire started dropping, we tried to quench it with water and called fire service.‘
Another eyewitness says fire service officials took longer than necessary to get to the scene but when they arrived, they curtailed what could have turned into an ugly disaster as the compound next to the billboard was an automobile sales office.
Attempts to speak with officials from Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) at the scene proved impossible.
