A fire outbreak on Tuesday gutted parts of the Garki 2 Divisional Police Station in Abuja, almost destroying property estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of naira. The fire outbreak prompted a response from the Federal Fire Service (FFS) that prevented extensive damage. Confirming the incident in a brief statement, the Head of Corporate Services at the Federal Fire Service Headquarters, Assistant Controller General A.U. Umar, said the prompt intervention of firemen saved property valued at over N200 million. Umar stated, “On Tuesday, 12th August 2025, our gallant men from the Federal Fire Service, National Headquarters, led by SF Agbo, swiftly responded to a fire outbreak at Garki 2 Divisional Police Station, Abuja, saving property worth over N200 million. “The blaze, caused by an electrical surge, was quickly extinguished with CO₂ extinguishers, followed by salvage operations to prevent re-ignition.” However, no casualties were reported as at the time of filing this report. Umar added that the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Mohammed Amadu, commended the fire crew for their professionalism during the operation. He said the agency also shared safety tips with the station to help prevent similar incidents in the future. Incidents of fire outbreaks in police stations and other public institutions across Nigeria are not uncommon, with most traced to electrical faults, faulty wiring, or power surges.
