“The man usually deals in the adulteration of PMS products, among others, in his shop. Around 4.30pm on the day of the incident, the man and his wife were outside the shop, while their children were sleeping inside when fire started burning the shop.

“The wife quickly rushed in to rescue her children but she was unlucky. She, alongside her children, got burnt to death by the fire. The man also made an attempt to rescue his family but he couldn’t.

The source explained further that Olabanji’s wife and children came to visit him from Ibadan, Oyo State, adding that people in the area were aware of his business dealings.

A resident of the area who gave his name as Danjuma, said

“Due to the presence of tankers around the neighbourhood, he always gets products to sell. That man sells oil, petrol, diesel and other things to people in the community.

“In fact, whenever there is fuel scarcity, if you come to his shop, you will still get the products. It was just unfortunate that this thing happened to him and his family.”

The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said Olabanji would be investigated for engaging in such an illicit act, adding that he was still undergoing treatment in a hospital.
