Woman, 80, Dies In Kwara Fire

The Kwara Fires Service said on Monday that an 80-year-old woman perished in a fire tragedy that occurred in Ilorin on Sunday.

The octogenarian was suffocated by smoke from the fire, according to Mr Hassan Adekunle, a spokesman for the Kwara State Fire Service, who confirmed the occurrence. He said the elderly man could not find the stairway to escape.

According to him, firemen put out the fire and stopped a big calamity from happening nearby.

Despite the fact that the source of the fire is still unknown, Hassan claimed that it was contained to the first floor of the multi-story building from whence it started.

“Out of the four flats in the storey building, only one flat was affected,’’ he added.

He said the delay in making a distress call to the fire service enabled the fire to cause severe damage to the building.

“In a related development, another fire outbreak was recorded on Sunday at a residential building in Offa, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara.

“The fire which resulted from a power surge involved a storey building of about 16 rooms, but only eight rooms were affected.

“Total estimated property saved is N62.8 million, while total estimated property lost is put at N17.2 million,’’ Adekunle said. (NAN)
