A mystery fire has completely razed the Lagos residence of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, according to media reports.
The fire destroyed the entire structure, the report further said.
According to the report, the fire was suspected to have begun on the roof of the building. There was an initial noise before the fire raged.
The family members initially discounted the noise as being caused by animals in the house.
However, the structure burst in flames within minutes, leaving the occupants with little alternative but to flee, leaving everything behind.
Despite the quick response of the local community and fire departments, the structure could not be saved.
The distressed family members, according to a Vanguard newspaper report, declined to comment on the incident.
Comrade Joe Ajaero, who was in Geneva at the time of the fire, has also been mostly silent since his return to the country.
Asked what he was thinking, Ajaero expressed appreciation that no lives was lost in the fire.
