IBADAN— There was fire outbreak at the Alarere
residence of a high chief in Olubadan Council of Oyo
State, Senator Lekan Balogun. The incident
happened Tuesday evening.
Although, no life was lost during the incident that
lasted for about an hour, several household
equipment were destroyed.
It took the combined efforts of neighbours of the
notable Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, member
and the fire service to put out the fire.
Speaking with newsmen in Ibadan yesterday,
Senator Balogun said: “I wasn’t there. I got a call
from my guard who said the fire was much.
“Ì got in touch with the Police Station in the area
and they called the fire service. I cannot really
estimate the property I lost, but thank God it did not
happen in the night.”
