Family and Church Announce Service of Songs and Requiem Mass for Three Victims of Lagos GNI Building Fire
The family of three men who perished in the December 24, 2025, Great Nigeria Insurance (GNI) Building fire at Balogun Market, Lagos, has announced a Service of Songs and Requiem Mass in their honor. The deceased are Stephen Onyeka Omatu (Mr Classic), Casmir Nnabuike Omatu, and Collins Kenechukwu Omatu.
The memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Jesus the Saviour Catholic Church, Bucknor Ejigbo, Lagos. The joint invitation from the family and church urges friends, associates, and well-wishers to pray for the repose of their souls.
Eyewitnesses and relatives allege that poor storage practices, combustible materials, and structural weaknesses contributed to the fire and hampered rescue efforts. Survivors, including a twin who narrowly escaped, reported difficulties in recovering the bodies due to inadequate government and emergency response.
Following the incident, Lagos State authorities ordered residents and businesses near the burnt building to vacate the area due to safety concerns, following expert evaluations warning of imminent danger.
