United Capital Holds Memorial for Six Staff Lost in Lagos Fire

United Capital Group has held a memorial service for six members of staff who died in the September 16 fire at Afriland Towers, Lagos.

The solemn gathering took place on Wednesday at Harbour Point, Victoria Island. It drew regulators, market leaders, partners, clients, and families of the deceased.

The company also streamed the service live, with viewing centres in Abuja and Port Harcourt. This allowed many colleagues across Nigeria to join in mourning.

A Day of Tributes and Tears

Group CEO Peter Ashade led a moment of silence. He shared touching recollections of each victim and encouraged the families. “The loss is immeasurable, but their impact will forever remain with us,” he said.

Tony Elumelu, chairman of Heirs Holdings, also spoke with visible emotion. “We stand with the families, united in grief and in remembrance,” he noted.

Guests described the ceremony as dignified and respectful. They said it honoured the departed in a way befitting their memory and service.
