In Ilorin, Kwara State, a structure with roughly 7 units was completely destroyed by fire, destroying assets worth millions of naira.

A power surge was responsible for the event, which happened at around 02:58.

The incident occurred at No. 63 Lawyer Laro Street Olorunshogo area, Ilorin, in the Ilorin West Local Government area of Kwara State, according to the State fire service's spokesman, Hassan Adekunle, who was in Ilorin on Sunday.

After arriving at the scene, he stated, "we noticed that the entire building had been consumed by the roaring fire as a result of the late call by the sympathiser."

“though the conflagration was huge, however, our firemen were able to demonstrate high level of professionalism and in no time the ravaging inferno was totally extinguished.

“We also damped the surrounding area in order to stop further escalation of the fire.”

The spokesman said leading officer of the firemen crew who attended to the incident, revealed that even though the fire was caused by power surge, a pressing iron was also met plugged in.

The Director of Kwara State Fire Service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, urged citizens to always cultivate the habit of switching off their electrical appliances even before bedtime.
