It was also learnt vehicles parked at the compound and part of the building were affected by the fire.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, confirmed the incident.
According to him: “It is true but the information is not still clear. It is not true that several security men lost their lives. About two security men on duty at the governor’s house were killed. NSCDC personnel was among the security men who lost their lives during the attack.”
A government house source who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that firefighters were battling to stop the fire from spreading to other parts of the building.
