Chaos Ensues at Lagos General Hospital as Flames Consume Nurses' Quarters

In a shocking turn of events, Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital, nestled on Iju Road in the heart of Lagos State, unexpectedly found itself embroiled in a sudden inferno that blazed through a nursing room on the second floor. The fiery blow sent tremors of panic reverberating through the bustling health facility.

Our sources have shone a light on this dramatic series of events, revealing that the stampede of patients and visitors fleeing for their lives was a direct consequence of the blaze. The flame began smoldering in the nursing room, engulfing the area and casting an air of unease throughout the three-story medical hub.

Director of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, shared her insights via X, confirming that while the fire raged, her team managed to swiftly contain its destructive path from encroaching upon additional sections of the facility. The quick thinking and prompt response from the fire service undoubtedly prevented more widespread damage.

In a statement on her Twitter handle, Adeseye acknowledged the incident, advising that normal operations had resumed without any significant impact on the level of medical services being accorded to the public. She declared, "We succeeded in quickly bringing the fire under control, thereby preventing extensive damage to this vital health facility. The incident was isolated to the room where it originated."

At the time of reporting, no injuries were recorded as the investigation into the underlying cause of the fire has commenced. But as of yet, precise details surrounding the ignition source have yet to be disclosed. While such inquiries require cooperation from various parties, including fire service officials, hospital management, and potentially government bodies, the specifics remain under wraps at this stage.

Parallel to this dramatic unfolding, whispers of unease have erupted across parts of Lagos and Ogun States, fueled by rumors of cursed rice wreaking havoc. Voice notes circulating on WhatsApp allege that a foreign female rice trader invoked the mighty Ogun deity upon two trucks of her rice, supposedly stolen and smuggled into Nigeria via the Seme and Idiroko borders.

According to the spreading stories, the enraged trader contacted Ghanaian Ogun worshippers to cast a spell on anybody who dared to purchase or devour the rice, and after consuming the contaminated rice, numerous Nigerian Customs officers, military personnel, and civilians have reportedly fallen ill or even perished.

In response to the escalating demoralization, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has categorically dismissed the rumors, ensuring the public that the claims are hogwash. In a statement released on Wednesday, the Seme Area Command Public Relations Officer, Isah Sulaiman, labeled the viral reports as "baseless and misleading."
