Arson Attack: Two Buildings Razed in Eyenkorin Youth’s Clash

In a shocking turn of events, two buildings were reduced to ashes in Eyenkorin, Asa Local Government, on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

The Kwara State Fire Service responded promptly to a distress call at approximately 4:50 hours, only to find two structures engulfed in flames.

This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Hassan Adekunle, Head of Department,  Media and Publicity,  Kwara State Fire Service in Ilorin on Tuesday.

Acvording to him, one building, comprising six rooms, and another with four rooms, were completely razed by the fire. The inferno left nothing but ruins in its wake, a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of violence and hatred.

Investigations revealed a sinister plot, as the inferno was deliberately set by rival groups clashing in a deadly confrontation.

One life was lost, and the bereaved group exacted revenge by targeting the home of the opposing group’s leader, leaving two houses in ruins. In a cruel twist, the attackers prevented occupants and sympathizers from putting out the fire, ensuring maximum destruction.

Thanks to the swift response of the fire crew and the Divisional Police Station, further destruction was prevented. However, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of violence and hatred.

The Director of the Kwara State Fire Service, Prince Falade John, extended condolences to the affected families.

He urged parents and guardians to instill good conduct in their wards to ensure a safe and peaceful society.

He emphasized the importance of community cohesion and conflict resolution, stressing that violence only leads to more suffering and devastation.
