HAPPENING NOW: Sanwo-Olu family house on fire (Video)

Thugs have set Sanwo-Olu’s family House on fire.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that the family home of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Omididun Street, Lagos Island was set ablaze earlier on Wednesday by an angry mob.

Recall that Sanwo-Olu had imposed a curfew on the state due to the #EndSARS protests. Soldiers were subsequently called in and eyewitnesses claimed more than five protesters, died in the attack.

One of the youths holding a jerry can of petrol was seen soaking the house in petrol but was quickly stopped by residents for fear that the fire could spread uncontrollably.

Later, however, the youths succeeded in burning down the house.

Another anonymous, said, “Around 7.45 am, angry youths gathered around Sanwo-Olu’s family home on Omididun Street, Lagos Island, throwing stones and shattering glasses.

“One of the youths poured petrol on the building but was immediately prevented from setting it ablaze because the fire could spread and lead to loss of lives.

“However, the youths soon gathered again and burnt down the house. The fire is currently spreading but firefighters have arrived at the scene.”

Reports getting to OnyxNews Nigeria this time say policemen attached to the Adeniji Adele Police Station had raced to the scene in a bid to quell the violence.
