An afternoon fire gutted the Opebi, Lagos home of
Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly
and running mate to Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the Congress
for Progressive Change on Friday.
The incident, which happened around 3 pm, led to the destruction of a part of the residence.
It was learnt that the prompt intervention of fire fighters from the Lagos State Fire Department saved the entire building from being consumed by the inferno.
It was learnt that neighbours and residents of the area made spirited efforts to put out the fire before the arrival of the fire fighters.
The spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Samuel Jinadu, confirmed the incident on the telephone.
Jinadu stated that investigations would reveal the cause of the inferno.
However, a Latter Rain member said the fire started from an electrical spark in one of the children’s rooms.
