A fire outbreak occurred at a building located within the Ile Oodua Palace of the highly-revered Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, resulting in the destruction of valuable items.
According to a source at Enuwa, Ile-Ife where the palace is located, the incident happened around 11:30 pm on Friday, causing panic and unrest within the palace premises.
People around the area promptly rallied to prevent the fire from spreading to other parts of the palace, and thankfully, there were no casualties, loss of cultural items, or injuries as a result of the incident.
In a statement released by the monarch’s spokesperson, Moses Olafare, the fire outbreak was attributed to a power surge, which could happen to any building, regardless of its size or prestige.
