A section of the multi-million naira mansion of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun State, went up in flames on Thursday.
Members of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigeria Police Force, State Security Service and close friends of the ex-president battled to contain the fire from spreading to other parts of the sprawling estate.
Ogun State Fire Service truck marked OG 122 AO9 roared into the compound an hour after the fire was detected and was joined by another ten minutes later.
The Nation gathered that the fire which started at about 4:30pm gutted Obasanjo’s office within the building and it is not yet clear what caused it.

MORE DETAILS COMING SOON.
