The Benue State branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is on fire.
A section of the apex bank in Benue State was covered with smoke in a video spotted online.
It was gathered that the fire started from the fuel dome of the building, however, it did not affect other section.
The first incident at the apex bank caused tension in the bank located at the Old GRA opposite United Bank of Africa (UBA) in Makurdi.
As at the time of filing this report, calm has been restored as people in the area are seen going about their normal businesses.
The Director of Benue State Fire Service, Donald Ikyaaza, on Thursday confirmed the incident.
He further stated that he received a call informing him about the fire and he immediately drafted his men to the scene.
Ikyaaza said, “It was actually a huge fire which started at the company’s fuel dome but my men rushed to the scene and put out the fire before it could spread to other parts of the bank. Everywhere is calm now.”
