 A devastating fire has completely razed a six-room residential bungalow at Block D5, Ifedapo Estate, in the Amuloko area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, destroying properties estimated to be worth millions of naira.

The incident occurred recently, with the Oyo State Fire Services Agency responding to the scene. Officials attributed the outbreak to an unattended source, though exact details on the cause remain under investigation. No casualties were reported, but the blaze left the occupants homeless and caused significant material losses, including household items, electronics, and personal belongings.

Eyewitnesses described the fire spreading rapidly through the wooden and block structure, overwhelming initial containment efforts before firefighters arrived. The affected family has appealed for assistance from the government and public-spirited individuals to rebuild and replace essential items.

This latest fire adds to concerns over recurring incidents in residential areas of Ibadan, amid reports that Oyo State recorded hundreds of fire outbreaks in 2025 alone. Authorities have urged residents to adopt safety measures such as regular electrical checks, avoiding unattended cooking, and installing basic fire extinguishers.

The Oyo State Fire Services Agency continues to emphasize public education on fire prevention as part of efforts to reduce such devastating losses.
