Fire razes MTN booster station in Ibadan
Fire razed down a booster station belonging to telecommunications giants MTN beside the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Ibadan on Saturday.
Yemi Akinyinka, the general manager of the Oyo State Fire Service, disclosed this in a statement in Ibadan.
He said the agency’s personnel received a distress call about the fire incident at exactly 4:00 a.m. on Saturday through a phone call from one Akinoso.
Mr Akinyinka said the personnel led by ACFS Olubunmi promptly deployed officers to the scene and arrived on time.
“On arrival, we met a Mikano electrical generator and board on fire,” he said.
Mr Akinyinka added that the agency’s personnel, in collaboration with a team of fire marshals from the University of Ibadan, completely put off the fire.
He said the fire affected the Mikano generator and board while other telecommunication gadgets were saved.
The general manager attributed the cause of the fire to an electricity surge.
