A source who later spoke to journalists disclosed that she finally reached the Public Relations Officer (PRO), Osun Fire Service after which he promised to swing into action.
According to her, on contacting the Federal Fire Service, Osun Command, the PRO, Adijat Basiri revealed that she got information that they were later alerted about the fire.
She said, “We declined going there due to security reasons. We requested for security back-up but couldn’t get one because Ikirun is a hot zone where we are usually attacked. This has occurred about twice in the past.”
