“Even though the delay has added to the fire to burn almost all the building but they were able to control the situation.”

Dailly Trust reports that some staff members, who witnessed the incident, noted that the fire started following the fluctuations of electricity power voltage which abruptly resulted in the blasting of some air conditioners at the centre.

“In the data centre are laptops, batteries and other related gadgets for data processing activities,” one of them said.

They added that close to the data centre is a box containing card readers but they were not affected.
