    In a very tragic incident which happened in Ede, Osun State, on Monday (today), a Customs Officer, Tijani Kabiru, his wife and their four children died in a fire accident.

    Tijani is attached to the Oyo, Osun Command of the Nigerian Customs Service.

    The fire reportedly started around 2 a.m. at the family’s residence in the Olowopoku area of Ede.

    Sources revealed that Kabiru, who was in his late 40s, was asleep alongside his wife and five children when the fire, believed to have originated from the solar panel installed on the roof of the house, engulfed the building.

    The devastating incident has left the community in shock and mourning.

    A source in the area disclosed: “The fire started around 2:09 am from the roof of the house. An electric spark from the solar panel attached to the roof caused the fire.

    “One of the children, a 13-year-old was reading when the fire started, he ran to the father’s room he realised that his father and other family members were weak due to the emission of smoke. He ran out of the house to call for help. It was difficult for residents of the house to access the house due to the security of the house like electric barbed wires and strong doors among others.

    “We informed the Fire Service men around 3:10 am. But before they arrived at the scene, Tijani, his wife, and four children were burnt to death.”

    When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of Osun State Fire Service, Adekunle Ibraheem confirmed the incident to The Nation.

    He said: “It is true that one Tijani, a Customs officer, his wife and four children were burnt to death. Only one of them escaped the scene. Their bodies were handed over to the men of A’ Division of the Nigeria Police Force.”
