African Independent Television, Lagos state studio was gutted by fire after an air conditioner in its studio was affected by high voltage electricity.
The fire incident which reportedly occurred around 9:00 a.m. Monday morning was put out by men of the Lagos State Fire Service from Agege, Ikeja and Alausa divisions with one water truck each.
Director of Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe, said his men arrived the scene 15 minutes after it got a call.
“The fire was caused by high voltage. We arrived at the scene at 9:30 a.m. and we spent about 15 minutes for active firefighting operations.
“Only the air conditioner was badly damaged as we were able to curtail the spread of the fire,” he said.
He urged Lagosians to be conscious of electrical appliances in their homes and offices.

AIT is against Nigerians. We are praying for all those troubling this country. Our time to be set free has come. The Lord of host will come to our rescue. Go out and get your PVC.
ReplyDeleteThat's ur personal opinion. You do not represent Nigerians, you're just a Nigerian if at all. AIT is not against Nigerians. All their publications are true but they are skewed against your godfathers. "If you don't like someone else's story, write your own".....Chinua Achebe. This is how your fathers burned Yaba market and others. This is accepted democratic practice to you right?
DeleteIt is my opinion. All of you stealing this country blind will burn to ashes. I am re writing my own by voting for change. # GEJ must go.
DeleteTinubu de mafian thief.His boys are in charge of this atrocity,Trust me.
ReplyDeleteHaters, if your wife gets pregnant, you will blame Tinubu
DeleteDon't think so bro. The Real Tinubu Documentary is nothing but the truth, otherwise go to court.
DeleteTinubu have decided to take law into his hand. AIT sue APC leaders to court they paid one of your workers to do it.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 10:18, 10:39 & 10:46 try to be more sensible in your comments. i may not know your religious persuasion but i believe in your scriptures [Quran/Bible] it is stated that we should avoid suspicion as much as it is a sin. why not wait for investigations to unravel the real cause of this inferno before you accuse ''APC &CO'' of being the mastermind behind it.
DeleteWords of Advice for you both!!! Never let your hatred for a group of people, ideology, organization, or individual blind your objectivity towards them.
All hail the Area Boy that wants to rule Nigeria through a puppet and weakling with a forged certificate called GMB. Tinubu has set AIT on fire!! This is exactly what APC Govt will look like if voted into power. #saynotobuhari#
ReplyDeleteMORON THE LAST TIME I CHECK THAT GUY YOU CALL AREA BOY IS MORE LETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE YOU ARE AFRAID TO CALL AREA BOY. THE MAN YOU CALLED WEAKLING ONCE LEAD A WAR AGAINST TERRORIST. GEJ IS THE ONE YOU NEED TO CALL WEAKLING.
DeleteYou aren't see nothing yet, let their be election and refuse to quit, we would burn your idiot gudlock and his shepopotamus to death plus incuding tompolo, asari tocubo even boybota tabi, boiloaf.
ReplyDeleteThieves armed robbers.
Our God will see us thro insha-Allah.
Amen.
DeleteAll accusing APC and its chieftains are fools and typically reflect what PDP is - fraud. The fire just started, more of it shall come to AIT for telling lies.
ReplyDeleteUr fada is a big fool
Delete@ anonymous 9:48PM, look at you opening your mouth anyhow like you uneducated Mother Patience. Apparently that is how you insult your father at home, so it makes it easy to insult other people's parents even when didn't mention yours. Omo ale lasan lasan
DeleteMy hunch tells me that this incident is a sabotage! All fingers are pointing to Tinubu mafia and his APC fundamentalists. Security agencies should act fast!
ReplyDeleteWhatever a man do so shall he reap. Any insider who perpetuate evil act shall sooner or later get his reward. I sympathize with AIT boss high chief Raymond Dokpesi and the entire staff for the inferno. May GOD almighty help you to achieve your dreams IJN, amen
ReplyDeleteIf people want power by force then they can kill, attack media houses and disrupt normally business activities. Anybody who has made allegiance to shed blood to make political gain shall not get there. AIT is station that reports the fact. Somebody who has no mercy can't rule Nigeria, Group of thuggery can't rule Nigerian. Behold, your past shall speak.
ReplyDeleteTinubu has said and done. They should investigate him very well
ReplyDeleteBut tinubu why. kia no hope for apc again.not everything is sellable,buhari not sellable next time bring someone that is acceptable by everybody.
ReplyDeleteYour comment is so poor and lacks value, no offence how did you pass your SSCE?
DeleteSo Tinubu now works in AIT or rather sent an insider to perpetuate the fire ? Can't' we reason a little before postings ?
ReplyDeleteThe report says it was due to high voltage and you claimed it was Tinubu, nawa o. If there is going to be arson, it won't be on air-conditioning.
high voltage In a station like AIT. Is a lie. Tinubu be careful !!!
ReplyDeleteHigh voltage in a station like AIT, why Not? Do they use power from a source different from other Nigerians or they use generators from Heaven? Abeg bros nor make me vex o!
DeleteAIT should thank God that a responsible govt like that of Lagos State has invested in Fire fighting to prevent more damages. If this same situation had occurred in their Abuja station, the whole place would have gone, becos the PDP govt there would have stupidly chopped all the money forgetting days like this can happen.
U ar a big fool besides u ar still in darkness,ur fada tinubu must pay 4 dis idiot.
DeleteDid you or have you even seen low voltage? MUMU, pple are commenting you too want to show your dull brain
Delete@anonymous 7:32PM. E dey pay you abi, oya Go HUG transformer! (ooops light no dey o!!!)
Deleteunfortunately for you and your PDPigs, I am no longer in darkness. I have seen the light and discarded your fada GEJ's fake promises.
Tinubu, as bad as he is, is a lot better than any of your PDPig fathers. At least he chopped money and repaired Lagos and even the South West. Ya GEJ is yet to give us light, he keeps claiming other people projects as his own.
All APC supporters a bunch of agberoooooos that are looking up to their fathers e.g Tinubu and kunu seller Buhari
DeleteDis is right time to arrest tinubu.
ReplyDeleteAlT, you people better beg we Nigeria before more evil descend on you people again
ReplyDeleteTHE LORD HAS SENT A DEVOURER INTO AIT CAMP. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE MORE. THIS IS HOW SATAN WILL TAKE THE N10 BILLION JONATHAN LARGESSE SMALL BY SMALL IJN. UNLESS IT IS THE WEALTHY OPPRESSORS AND NOT THE GOODWILL OF THE MASSES THAT HAS MADE YOU INTO WHAT YOU ARE
ReplyDeletenot much damage was done according to the news,only the ac was badly damage. Even if it is bigger it might as well happen if AIT did not air any documentary
