OBASANJO'S HILTOP MANSION IN ABEOUKUTA GUTTED BY FIRE

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo's hiltop mansion which he resides in Abeokuta  was gutted by fire today. The fire started from the kitchen around 5pm this evening and later spread to the office of the secretary but was put out by the Ogun State Fire Service truck which prevented the fire from spreading to other parts of the sprawling estate.

Obasanjo who expressed appreciation to God said that, ” You have seen that it is only the office of my secretary that is burnt.”  He added in Yoruba, “Ile Obasanjo to jo Ewa lobu kun. This is translated, ” A king’s house gutted by fire can only add beauty to it.

Thank God it was contained. I can't count the number of times I have been to that house, it will be a shame if it burned down.
