At least six employees of United Capital lost their lives in the fire that engulfed Afriland Towers, a six-storey building housing several major institutions in Lagos, on September 16.
The blaze, which started in the inverter room located in the basement, also claimed four lives from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
On Monday, United Capital, a pan-African financial services institution, confirmed the deaths of its staff and announced plans to hold a memorial service to honour the victims with dignity and solemnity.
“Our departed colleagues were an integral part of our company and family. Their painful loss leaves an immeasurable void,” the company said in a previous statement.
“We extend our deepest and heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, and loved ones, and we continue to hold them in our thoughts and prayers, as well as providing all the support we can to them during this most difficult time.”
