A fire outbreak in the early hours of Saturday affected a six-room bungalow at Danialu Alapata Compound in the Gaa Akabi area of Ilorin, Kwara State.
The incident, which occurred at about 2:11 a.m., was swiftly contained by operatives of the Kwara State Fire Service, preventing the blaze from spreading to other parts of the building.
According to a statement issued by the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Hassan Hakeem Adekunle, only two of the six rooms were severely affected by the fire.
“The incident involved a bungalow comprising about six rooms, out of which two rooms were affected by the fire,” the statement noted.
Reacting to the incident, the Director of the Fire Service, Alabi Muhammed, urged residents to adopt safety precautions to prevent future occurrences. He advised the installation of surge protectors, avoidance of overloading electrical systems, and regular inspection of wiring by qualified professionals.
He also encouraged residents to switch off electrical appliances when not in use and promptly report fire incidents to emergency responders.
The agency reiterated its commitment to protecting lives and property across the state.
The latest incident adds to a series of recent fire outbreaks in Kwara State, including a March 12 blaze at Owode Market in Offa that destroyed six shops and goods worth millions of naira. Other incidents include a 10-room building razed at Aata Compound in Ilorin and a fire outbreak at a shop in Akolapo Plaza earlier in the week.
