We heard people screaming and shouting for help. But the locked shops and the deceased’s house hindered us from getting close to the scene. “We initially thought it was something else, but when we saw smoke, we forced the door open and boys in the area poured in water to put out the fire.” Speaking on the incident, former Executive Secretary, Oduwole Basiru Iyanda, described it as unfortunate. He described the late NULGE Chairman as a nice, loving and jovial person. He, however charged people of the state on the need to always be cautious of fire, saying they should be mindful of their electrical appliances.
