It, however, took the personnel of Fire Service in the state several hours to put out the fire.
Speaking on the incident, the State Coordinator of Fire Service, Hanatu George, said they got a distress call on Friday night and responded immediately.
Mr George, however, said that although no life was lost, investigation had begun to ascertain the cause of the fire.
