A storey building opposite the Ministry of Works in Akure, the Ondo state capital is currently on fire, The Precision NG has learnt.
The inferno was captured on Facebook live by a citizen journalist, Mr Oluwasomi Ajayi.
The cause of the fire outbreak is not clear as at press time but sympathisers are seen in the video lamenting that the fire might have been caused by a spark of gas in the house.
Operatives of the state fire services are enjoined to come to the scene of the inferno to help put out the fire.
