Panic swept through parts of Ibadan on Friday night after a fire broke out at Fresh FM, one of the city’s leading radio stations.
The incident was first reported by Samuel Ibikunle Arugbobois on Facebook, who urged the public to alert the nearest fire service. His post, which quickly circulated across platforms including Connect Ibadan, read:
“Fresh FM is currently on fire! We urgently need the Fire Service to respond immediately. Please spread the word and alert the nearest station.”
As of press time, the extent of the damage and any possible casualties had not been confirmed. Emergency responders had yet to issue an official statement, though eyewitnesses and social media users continued to call for urgent action to contain the blaze.
Fresh FM, founded by renowned musician and broadcaster Yinka Ayefele, is one of the most listened-to stations in Ibadan and the South-West, famed for its mix of news, music, and entertainment.
More updates are expected as authorities address the situation.
