Ex-Nigerian
international, Gbenga Okunnowo, on Sunday lost property worth millions
of naira to an early morning inferno in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The fire outbreak, which
reportedly occurred around 2.30am, was said to have razed eight
vehicles belonging to
the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company of
Power Holding Company of Nigeria.
Other property said to have been destroyed by the fire were travelling documents, household items, and other materials.
The cause of the outbreak could, however, not yet be determined at the time of filing this report.
The Sunshine Stars
player, who was still in shock as a result of the incident, said it
would be difficult to determine the cost of the property destroyed by
the inferno.
Okunnowo said he was
awoken by the sound of an explosion from the neighbouring PHCN office
before the fire caught the roof of his one-storey duplex located behind
the electricity company.
“What I’m wearing now is the only thing that’s left on me, everything got burnt,” the former Barcelona defender lamented.
He explained that
initially when the fire started the three occupants of the duplex came
to assist but it later engulfed the whole building.
