Fire guts building in Ilorin
Ten buildings have been gutted by fire on Sunday night as a result of power surge.
The incident occurred in Loju community, Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State.
A statement by Hassan Hakeem Adekunle, the HOD Media and Publicity, said although the conflagration was huge, men of the fire service were able to curtail the crisis in no time through the demonstration of high level of professionalism.
He added that out of ten rooms in the building, seven rooms were affected.
However, he said the Director of Kwara State Fire Service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, urged the citizens to always cultivate the habit of switching off their electrical appliances even before the bedtime, as this would help them to prevent the chances of fire outbreaks in their various homes, and also help them to drastically reduce it.
