UBA dispels rumours after Afriland Tower fire incident, confirms headquarters’ safety
United Bank for Africa (UBA) has clarified that a fire outbreak at Afriland Tower, a commercial building located on Broad Street, Lagos Island, only affected one of its branches, and not the iconic headquarters building.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, sparked panic in the area and led to widespread speculation online, with some reports erroneously claiming that the bank’s corporate headquarters had been affected.
“We are aware of the fire incident at a building on Broad Street, Lagos Island, which incidentally houses one of our many branches,” UBA stated. “As against reports online and social media, the affected building is not the UBA House, Marina, the bank’s head office.”
