A branch of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) on Lagos Island was engulfed in flames on Tuesday afternoon, with videos circulating online showing the intensity of the blaze.
The fire, which broke out in the bank building, drew immediate attention as thick smoke and flames rose into the air, sparking panic among residents and passersby in the area.

Emergency services have since mobilised to the scene in an effort to contain the inferno.
In the video, bankers were seen trying to make their way out of the building with a sizeable number of crowd lending them help, apparently as part of evacuation exercise.
At the time of filing this report, the cause of the fire remained unknown. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether there were any casualties, although footage in circulation suggests that parts of the structure sustained significant damage.
