African Independent Television/Ray Power FM office at Alagbado, a suburb of Lagos, went up in flames in the evening on Tuesday. The immediate cause of the inferno could not be immediately ascertained, but a rescue team comprising men from the Federal Fire Service from Lagos and Ogun states were still battling to control the fire as at 5.45 p.m.
The severity of the fire became apparent as both the TV and the radio stations quickly went off the air, while spirited efforts were also being made by concerned individuals and media organisations to alert other various agencies that could assist in putting out the fire.
An employee of the organisation claimed that the fire, which started from the studios, later spread to the library and other essential departments which were completely razed.
All the lighting equipment were razed, while the fire was eventually subdued at about 6.45 p.m.
The chairman of the organisation, Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, was said to be in Abuja at the time of the incident, but one of his wives, Tosin, who is in charge of AIT, was on ground to assess the situation.
