The Lotto office sat on the popular Ibadan Road and belonged to the
Ijebu business magnate, Chief Kessington Adebutu, a.k.a. Baba Ijebu. The
Lotto office in Ijebu Ode People watched helplessly as the two-storey
building burnt, until the fire service men arrived.
Witnesses said
the fire caused pandemonium in the area as many of the staff were seen
jumping down to the rescued hands of the sympathisers outside. According
to one witness:"We were inside the bank when suddenly we were asked to
move out that there was a fire outbreak at the building beside the bank.
We
all ran outside to see people on the main road and serious gridlock had
occurred. Some boys were seen jumping down from the building and people
were rescuing them but I can confirm to you that there was no casualty
as at this time because all the workers inside were saying nobody
remained inside the building again", he disclosed.
