A total of N42.8m was destroyed in both incidents, which resulted from a power surge, according to the spokesman of the Kwara State Fire Service, Hassan Adekunle on Saturday.

He said the director of the service, Prince Falade John Olumuyiwa, urged the citizens to always cultivate the habit of switching off their electrical appliances even before bedtime.
