The home of the former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo was razed down by fire last night. The fire was said to have occurred late last night around 10:00 pm.
While the fire was raging, the residents and sympathizers in the area, were said to have trooped out to assist the domestic workers in the house to put out the fire.
Confirming the incident, Ogun Director of Fire Service, Fatai Adefala said the fire did not damage the main building.
“Yes, there was a fire and it had been put out. Our officials have put out the fire,” Adefala was quoted as saying.
The affected house was reported to have been used by Obasanjo when he was president before he moved to the penthouse within the Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
