Kwara State Fire Service spokesperson, Hassan Adekunle said that a combined team of firemen and other security agencies prevented the total destruction of the church by the raging fire.

“The fire crew promptly responded to the call. Upon arrival at the scene, they found that a devastating inferno had already consumed the auditorium of the church and caused significant damage. However, firemen managed to contain the inferno and prevent it from spreading further.JAMB Portal

“It is worthy of note that the materials used for the building’s construction were not fire-retardant, including aluminum roofing and plywood for the ceiling.informationguidenigeria

“These non-fire-resistant materials contributed to the rapid spread of the fire before the fire service’s arrival. As a result, not only the auditorium but also three out of the six offices were affected by the fire. Our investigation revealed that the cause of the outbreak was borne out of a power surge.”
