According to a statement from the Directorate of Fire Service, Ministry of Information and Internal Security, the fire affected the ammunition facility within the barracks, leading to the explosion of some munitions and loud bangs.

The statement added that a combined team of firefighters from the Nigerian Army Fire Service, Federal Fire Service, and Borno State Fire Service responded to the scene and successfully extinguished the fire.

The statement advised the public that secondary explosions may occur and cause loud bangs in the surrounding areas. It, therefore, urged residents not to panic.

“Preliminary investigations suggest that the intense heat in Maiduguri around this time of the year may have triggered the fire.
