A fire broke out at a leased warehouse facility in Aba, Abia State, on Thursday, destroying empty plastic crates stored at the site. The warehouse, located opposite Nigerian Breweries Plc's Aba brewery, is used solely for crate storage and is not part of the company's main production facility. Nigerian Breweries confirmed in a corporate filing on Friday that no injuries or fatalities occurred. The document was signed by Company Secretary Mr Uaboi Agbebaku and submitted to the Nigerian Exchange Ltd. The company stated the fire was quickly contained by its emergency response team, with support from government agencies. Assistance was also received from Oris Group and members of the host community. The immediate impact was restricted to the stored crates, and the company emphasized that production, logistics, and sales operations at the Aba brewery remained unaffected. An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the blaze.
