Some staff members, who witnessed the incident, stated that the fire started following the fluctuations of electricity power voltage which abruptly resulted in the blasting of some air conditioners at the centre.
“In the data centre are laptops, batteries and other related gadgets for data processing activities,” one of them said.
The eyewitnesses added that close to the INEC Data Centre is a box containing card readers but they were not affected.
