Ultima Studio Remains

Pandemonium hit the venue of the ongoing Project Fame West Africa on Aug. 22, when the Ultima studios, where they were being housed, suddenly caught fire.

NET’s enquiries reveal that the building caught fire when an air-conditioner suddenly blew off, and the contestants’ efforts to put out the fire with extinguishers failed to contain the inferno. The resulting catastrophe reportedly destroyed production equipment worth over a billion naira

According to the CEO of Ultima Ltd, Mr Femi Ayeni, the damage would have been fifty percent averted if men of the Fire Service had arrived on time; Fire Service got to the Isheri/Ogba Junction scene when the damage had already been done.

The Project Fame contestants were swiftly moved into a close-by hotel and no casualty was recorded.

Sources close to the producers quoted an executive as saying ‘the show must go on!

On a rescue mission

Hundreds of millions of naira worth of equipment in ruins

Few items were salvaged from the inferno

Some Ultima staff were inconsolable
