According to E24-7, elders in the church woke up
on Thursday, January 7, to receive the news that
fire had gutted the house of the head of Nigeria
Diocese of the Celestial Church, Baba Are in his
Ikorodu home.

The fire occurred in the early hours of Thursday,
which was caused by a power surge. His wife,
called Iya Salewa and his children, Dare and Kemi
tried to escape the fire, but Baba Are who is
suffering from a stroke which left him immobile
was totally burnt beyond recognition by fire on his
bed.

The octogenarian cleric until his death was the
number three man in the Celestial Church’s
hierarchy.
