After the incident of the Oba of Lagos allegedly snubbing the Ooni of Ife, the Oba of Lagos has made the headlines again, albeit for another reason.
A section of the Oba of Lagos’ palace in the Iga Iduganran area of Lagos Island has been gutted by fire.
The PUNCH newspapers reports that the fire started from an air condition in an apartment inside the palace, destroying furniture and other household items in the room.
It was gathered that the incident started around 1.30pm with smokes billowing to the sky, which attracted a crowd to the area.
The palace gate was, however, shut to the crowd as firefighters from the Lagos State Fire Service, Shari Iganmu and Ilupeju stations, battled to put it out.
A senior emergency official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident, saying the fire had been put out.
