The Osun State Government is deeply saddened by the unfortunate loss of a Customs officer, SC Kabiru Tijani, his wife and three children, in an inferno that occured at his house at Ede, Osun state, on Sunday.

The fire, which source is yet to be ascertained, broke out at the residence of the late Tijani, burning the officer, his wife and three children who are in the house when it occured. Only a 13 year old child who is a member of the family survived the incident.

In a message of condolence to the family of the deceased and the Nigeria Customs, Governor Ademola Adeleke in a statement signed by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, described the incident as touching and painful, expressing the heartfelt sympathy of the government and the people of Osun to loved ones of the deceased.

Governor Adeleke however advised residents in the state to be alert to their environment and do away with anything that could ignite fire in this dry season, noting that management of electrical appliances and inflammable objects must adhere to proper safety measures.

He also tasked emergency management bodies, such as O’Ambulance, to intensify rescue alertness in communities and towns across the state, declaring his administration’s resolve to keep the people and property safe.

“I am distraught to hear about the terrible fire incident that resulted in the death of SC Kabiru Tijani, his wife, and three children, at his residence in Ede, Osun state. It is really painful for me, and I want to use this avenue to commiserate with the family of the deceased and the Nigeria Customs,” Governor Adeleke noted.

“It is my prayer that God Almighty repose their souls and give their loved ones the fortitude to bear the irreparable losses occasioned by their death.”
