The government of Osun State has confirmed that fire broke out at a section of the office of Governor Rauf Aregbesola on Monday.
In a statement personally signed by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Adelani Baderinwa, however, said that no document or equipment was destroyed.
Said Baderinwa “The fire incident was as a result of power surge which occurred in one of the Air Conditioners inside the office of the Governor.
“It is heartening to note that not a single document, or equipment was destroyed and nobody was hurt.
“We reiterate that every document in the governor’s office is intact. It is not a serious fire outbreak.
“The fire mainly affected the office of the Governor alone; no other office is affected.
“It is regrettable that the electricity suppliers have been persistently unable to regulate the supply of power to meet the necessary standard.
“Many Nigerians have lost their properties to power surges and other electrical malfunctioning.
“We urge the electricity supplier to save this situation by conforming with the rules and regulations of electricity supply.”
PMParrot gathered that no casualty was recorded.
