Guinness Nigeria Plc suffered a fire outbreak at its facility in Aba, Abia State on Friday, 18th January. However, after several hours of battling the flames, it was brought under control by the Aba Fire Service, with the material assistance and support from nearby companies.

In a released statement on Saturday, Guinness Nigeria had this to say: “On the 18th of January 2018, there was a fire outbreak at the Aba premises of Guinness Nigeria Plc located in Osisioma Industrial Layout. The fire which did not affect any of the buildings on site was swiftly contained and put under control by men of the Aba Fire Service Department with assistance from neighbouring companies.

“Fortunately, there were no injuries or major material loss resulting from the incident as the Aba premises currently serves as a logistics centre with few personnel on site. Our major production operations take place in our Benin and Ogba Breweries.“
