A section of Gov. Rauf Aregbesola’s office in Osun, popular known as Bola Ige House, was on Monday gutted by fire.
Mr Adelani Baderinwa, the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, disclosed this in a statement signed and made available to newsmen on Monday in Osun.
According to him the fire started from an air conditioner, which was inside the governor’s office but the governor was not around as at that time.
“It was also gathered that the fire could not be put out from the inside because the security doors leading to the office could not be opened as the fire raged”.
Staff at the governor’s office were seen outside discussing the damaged done to the building.
The commissioner said nobody was injured and no document or equipment was destroyed.
“I want to reiterate that every document in the governor’s office is intact.
“The fire mainly affected the office of the governor alone and no other office was affected,” Baderinwa said.
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, Baderinwa said.
However, the Osun Commissioner of Police, Mr Fimihan Adeoye, also visited the governor’s office to assess the extent of damage.
Adeoye, however, refused to speak with newsmen on the issue.
