Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Equipment, properties and other items worth millions of naira have been destroyed as a result of fire incident that ravaged the studio of a radio station in Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The radio station is located within the premises of the university.<\/p>\n

It was learnt that the fire incident was as a result of electrical surge from air-conditioning.<\/p>\n

Chairman of Oyo State Fire Service, Hon Maroof Akinwande confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

Akinwande, in a statement signed and made available to DAILY POST, said, \u201cThe fire incident was reported at exactly 11:55 hr on Monday 1st September 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agency\u2019s officers led by PFS 11 Makinde promptly responded and deployed to the scene of incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn getting there, we met the radio station studio engulfed by fire and smoke slugged. The fireman swiftly swung into action and the fire was curtailed and restricted from spreading beyond where we met it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire was as a result of electrical surge from air-conditioning. No casualty was recorded, while the agency were able to save properties worth millions of naira.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the public to be conscious of fire and emphasize the importance of having extinguishers in respective buildings and correct use of the equipment in order to prevent fire incidents at incipient stage\u201d.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent reports that the fire incident in this radio station is coming few days after a similar incident occurred at Fresh 105.9 FM Ibadan.<\/p>\n
