Properties worth millions of naira have been destroyed as a result of a fire incident that ravaged some shops in Iseyin, Oyo State.
DAILY POST gathered that the incident occurred at Sawmill Abaletu, Saki Road, in Iseyin.
Our correspondent learnt that the fire affected three shops.
Properties worth millions of naira were said to have been affected as a result of the inferno.
Chairman of the Oyo State Fire Service, Hon. Maroof Akinwande, when contacted, confirmed the incident in a statement.
The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Thursday.
Akinwande, in the statement, added that no life was lost in the incident.
Akinwande, while speaking, said, “The fire incident was reported at exactly 03:54 hrs on Monday, 23rd June, 2025. Immediately the address was received, the firemen, led by ACFS Azeez, swiftly deployed to the scene of the incident and on arrival, we met three (3) shops already engulfed by fire.
“The firemen quickly swung into action and we were able to curtail it from spreading to other shops.
“Only three shops were affected, and the Fire Service was able to save the remaining seven shops and other nearby properties.
“The fire was as a result of the nonchalant attitude of a phone repairer who failed to switch off and unplug one of his equipment after closing work in the evening, and it ignited nearby combustibles.”
