United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA) on Tuesday, 16 September, 2025 reacted to reports of a fire outbreak at one of its branches in Lagos.
In a report, chaos broke out on Lagos Island as a fire engulfed the pan-African financial institution branch, forcing some staff to leap from the upper floors in a desperate attempt to escape.
Responding, the bank in a statement stated that it is aware of the fire incident at a building on Broad Street, Lagos Island, which incidentally houses one of its branches.
“As against reports online and social media, the affected building is not the UBA House, Marina, the Bank’s head office. We have ensured the safety and well-being of our staff and customers in the branch,” the lender said in a statement.
