The Osun State Government has
revealed the cause of the fire that gutted the main room of Governor Rauf
Aregbesola’s office on Monday.
Sola Fasure, the Media Adviser to
the Governor, offered the explanation in a statement Monday night.
“At about 4.00pm on Monday July
23, 2018, there was a fire incident at the main room of the Office of the
Governor, Bola Ige House, Abere. This was occasioned by one of the air
conditioning units in the room.
“Security operatives on sentry
duty attacked the fire with dry fire extinguishers on standby before they were
complemented by officers of the state’s fire brigade. They succeeded in putting
out the fire after about 30 minutes.
“The fire was contained
effectively in the main room and did not extend to any other part of the
building.
“No life was lost and no person
or animal was injured. No file or any document was burnt and no property, other
than the air conditioning unit, was damaged or burnt. The smoke from the fire
however scarred the white walls of the room and darkened them.
“Further investigation is ongoing
and the public will be briefed as and when necessary,” Fasure said.
