Falomo Police barracks in Lagos, yesterday night, went up in flames destroying property which monetary value could not be immediately ascertained.
The cause of the fire which started at about 7pm could not be immediately ascertained, but report said it started from one of the apartments on Block 2.
Several persons were reportedly injured in the resultant stampede. Efforts by the occupants to contain the fire from spreading to other apartments proved abortive.
Reports also said the entire residents of the barracks were thrown into panic as those affected battled to salvage their belongings.
It could, however, not be ascertained how many apartments were affected in the block as at press time. The fire, it was gathered, was put out at about 8.20pm.
Contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Joseph Jayeoba, said the fire was eventually put out by fire fighters, who were contacted, clarifying that it did not spread beyond block 2.
