Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole has said there was no fire incident in the health ministry.

Adewole said there was only a spark on the corridors of the third floor.

He was reacting to reports by Channels Television which quoted an unnamed eyewitness that the building housing the Federal Ministry of Health was on fire in the early hours of Saturday.

Adewole however said the report was false.

“The report is false, there was just a spark in the corridors of the third floor and it has been put off. It was just an electrical spark that has been put off. No part of the ministry has been affected. No office was affected,” the minister said.
