PHOTO:- Obasanjo's House Gutted By Fire

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo's hiltop mansion which he resides in Abeokuta  was gutted by fire yesterday. The fire started from the kitchen around 5pm 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, ” 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. which means ” A king’s house gutted by fire can only add beauty to it.(Hope I am correct? *eyes rolling*)
