As the news of clerics caught with human head and other body parts in Ibadan, Oyo State continues to trend, the residents of Alapata Community, along Apete-Akufo Road in Ido Local Government Area, where one of them, Ramoni Opeyemi a.k.a. Alubarika, has a personal building, were thrown into a surprise as the house was mysteriously razed on Monday, October 30, 2023.
The fire incident was reportedly noticed by residents at about 7:30pm, but no one was found near it, except a gathering of people who also noticed it and stood to watch it from a distance.
A male resident in the community, who craved anonymity, told Thenewsbearer that he was in his house when he and neighbours heard a loud noise.
He said: “It was already dark at that time. As we came out to know what was happening, we saw Alubarika’s residence burning.
“At first, we all ran away from the sound coming from the raging fire.
“When it was something we couldn’t handle, we had to call the police at Apete Division to notify them of the development.”
By the time Thenewsbearer got to the scene at almost 9pm, the fire, still razing the building, had reduced in its intensity because of the rain that had started falling.
The Divisional Police Officer, Apete Division, CSP Rufus Adegoke Akanle, and his officers and men were met at the scene with two patrol vehicles, manning the area to prevent any further untoward happening.
