Fire engulfed the headquarters of the Christ Embassy church in Lagos Sunday morning.
Witnesses posted multiple videos of the fire Sunday morning. A fire truck could be seen near the building indicating fire service officials were present.
It is not clear if worshippers were in the church at the time the fire started.
The fire which broke out early hours of Sunday caused significant damage to the church property, sending shock waves throughout the immediate community and beyond.
The area has been cordoned off by the police to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
The church is headed by influential pastor, Chris Oyakhilome.
