Nigerian gospel musician Chinyere Udoma has spoken out following a fire that ravaged her recording studio in Lagos, causing millions of naira in damages.

The fire, suspected to have started due to faulty electrical wiring, destroyed music equipment and other property.

Udoma, who was en route to the airport when she received news of the fire, arrived at her studio on the Eko Akete Jakonde Estate to find it engulfed in flames. Despite having previously raised concerns with the landlord about the wiring, no action was taken.

Although the full extent of the damage is unknown, Udoma expressed deep sadness for the lost equipment and the setback it represents. She shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram page, acknowledging the significant loss while reaffirming her commitment to recovery.

She wrote:

“It was a really tough Tuesday for us at @cgvmstudios Lagos. In just a few minutes, everything we’ve worked so hard for, worth hundreds of millions, was gone, consumed by flames.

I’m struggling to find the right words and don’t even know how to start explaining what happened.
All I can say is that we’ve lost everything, but by some miracle, no one was hurt.

We’re in a state of shock and if we’re a bit slow to respond, please understand.
This is a huge setback, but it hasn’t defeated us.

Right now, more than ever, we need your prayers and support.🙏

Despite everything, we’re determined to rebuild from here, stronger and with our faith in each other and in the future intact.

Mama Chi 💕”.
