A fire outbreak at Radex Variety Store in the Bolanta area, Oja-Igbo, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has destroyed goods and properties worth millions of naira.
It was gathered that the incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Friday and was reportedly caused by a power surge.
Confirming the incident in a statement on Saturday, Chairman of the Oyo State Fire Service, Maroof Akinwande, said no lives were lost.
“On getting to the scene of the incident, we met a variety store that was engulfed by fire. We quickly swung into action and doused the fire within the shortest period of time, and educated people on fire prevention in our community. “No casualty was recorded, but the fire affected only one shop in the complex. The fire was as a result of a power surge. The appliance returned to the station by 22:50hrs, and on standby,” Akinwande said.
