It’s A Lie, Our Headquarters Did Not Catch Fire – CBN Spokesman

 

The Acting Director in the Corporate Communications of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Isaac Okorafor has debunked the news going round that the head office building of the apex bank was gutted by fire.

Okorafor, in a statement today, Tuesday, said that what happened was what he called ‘a pall of exhaust’ in the building which passersby saw from far and mistook it for fire smoke.

“The CBN maintains a total security system that triggers safety alarms in the presence of smoke and so all fire engines and personnel received the alert only to discover that it was an unusual pall of exhaust.

“The affected generator has been rested and normal work has been uninterrupted, while the engineers are working to rectify the issues with the generator.”

The chief information strategist assured the general public that there has been no fire at the banks building.
