The Police Service Commission’ s office complex inside the expansive Federal Secretariat in Abuja was this afternoon engulfed in flames, a report from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) said.
A report in the online edition of the Abuja-based Daily Trust quoted a witness as saying that he was in the office with his colleagues when they heard a loud bang, which sent everyone scampering for safety.
He said they later learnt it was fire and they all evacuated to safety.
Fire service men later arrived to battle the fire, which had subsided considerably by late afternoon.
