Early Morning Fire Kills Customs Officer, Wife, Four Children In Osun by NaijaCover(op): 7:43pm On Dec 02, 2024
A fire incident killed six family members in the early hours of Monday in Ede, Osun State. The victims were identified as a Customs officer, Tijani Kabiru, attached to the Oyo/Osun Command, his wife, and four children.

The fire reportedly started around 2 am at the family’s residence in the Olowopoku area of Ede.

It was gathered that Kabiru, who was in his late 40s, was asleep alongside his wife and five children when the fire, believed to have originated from the solar panel installed on the roof of the house, engulfed the building.

“The fire started around 2:09 am from the roof of the house. An electric spark from the solar panel attached to the roof caused the fire.

“One of the children, a 13-year-old, was reading when the fire started. He ran to his father’s room and realised that his father and other family members were weak due to the emission of smoke. He ran out of the house to call for help. It was difficult for residents of the house to access the house due to the security of the house, like electric barbed wires and strong doors, among others.

“We informed the Fire Service men around 3:10 am. But before they arrived at the scene, Tijani, his wife, and four children were burnt to death,” a source disclosed.

The Public Relations Officer of Osun State Fire Service, Dekunle Ibraheem, when contacted, confirmed the incident.

“It is true that one Tijani, a Customs officer, his wife and four children were burnt to death. Only one of them escaped the scene. Their bodies were handed over to the men of A Division of the Nigeria Police Force,” he said.

The sad irony is, Apart from the distressing fact the fire brigade took an hour to arrive, the security he installed to keep people out prevented his neighbours from entering to help.

Wetinnn!!!
Haba!!!!!
How manage,nahhh,were they locked up?!!!
Poor child,now an orphan...



God saved me from similar experience many years ago....was alone in the one room apartment and left my candle burning in an empty polish can.
I placed the can on top of the big TV set and slept off...lo and behold, something woke me up in the middle of the night and I saw the TV set burning and black smoke everywhere in the room!
I quickly used water to put out the fire and open up the curtains and went outside....I was coughing and coughing out thick black stuff!

In all these,not a single neighbour knew what happened!

I just thank God for my life.

And thunda faya the nepa

These unbelievable stories again? 😩😩😩😩😩

Weak from what fumes? I don't believe the boy's story. Unless they were already dead from CO or some other poison, when folks inhale fumes , it usually causes them to cough for breath and seek ways to escape the discomfort not lie there waiting for the flames to finish them off. undecided

Re: Early Morning Fire Kills Customs Officer, Wife, Four Children In Osun by Ishilove: 8:46pm On Dec 02, 2024
The surviving child was able to leave the house to get help, so my guess is the fire was already too much by the time the first responders arrived.

Poor boy. December 2024 will forever be a black memory in his heart

I suspect family suicide gone wrong since one child supposedly escaped or maybe murder. 🧐
