A devastating fire incident has claimed the life of 23-year-old Ayodele Gabriel in his apartment at Sakura Estate, Sagamu, Ogun State.
According to The PUNCH, the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Odutola Omolola, “The incident was reported to the Sakura Police Division on August 28, 2024, by the landlord.
“We have started our investigation. Our men went to the scene; the cause of the fire is unknown.”
Ayodele was found unconscious in the bathroom and rushed to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The landlord, Oluwaseun Emmanuel, alerted neighboring residents after noticing the fire, and together they extinguished the flames and forced open the door to discover Ayodele’s lifeless body.
This incident bears a striking resemblance to a previous fire incident in Owode-Yewa community, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State, where a 27-year-old man, Tolu Falansa, died from smoke inhalation.
