A major fire broke out at Focus Holiday Inn, a prominent hotel located in Garki, Abuja, in the early hours of January 15, 2025. Eyewitnesses reported that the blaze began around 3 a.m. and quickly spread across the three-story building, causing significant damage. Firefighters are on the scene, working to control the flames.
At the time of reporting, no casualties have been confirmed. The fire service is still working to fully extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
This incident is part of a troubling trend of frequent fire outbreaks in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In recent months, Abuja has witnessed several major fires, including an incident at the Supreme Court building on September 25, 2023, and another at a telecommunications facility in Maitama on November 2, 2024. Additionally, a popular fitness center in Gwarinpa was also destroyed by fire in mid-November 2024.
Authorities are urging residents and businesses to take precautions to prevent such incidents in the future, as the city continues to grapple with fire safety concerns and building collapses.
