An inferno has engulfed Kingdom Furniture workshop at Kotobabi on the Spintex road Thursday evening.

The yet-to-be tamed, inferno is spreading to other houses close by according to reports.

The fire started Thursday evening around 5:30 pm. It is not clear yet what caused the inferno but the destruction appears to be massive.

Joy News' Latif Iddris reports that about six fire tenders have arrived at the scene of the fire in a desperate bid to put out the fire.

As at 7:00 pm the fire is still raging. Fire men have been tightlipped, at least for now.
