Kindly share:<\/p>\n

Tijani Kabiru, a Nigerian Customs officer, his wife, and four of their five children were in the early hours of Monday consumed by a tragic fire outbreak at their home in the Akankan area of Ede, Osun State.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only survivor,\u00a0 a 13-year-old boy,\u00a0\u00a0escaped the fire by the whiskers.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The tragedy has left residents in shock and grief.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to an eyewitness, nobody could tell when the fire started but neighbours woke up at about 3am to see that their house had been engulfed by fire.<\/div>\n
\n

It was gathered that firefighters from the Ede Fire Station were promptly contacted but before their arrival,\u00a0much of the house had been consumed by the fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThe response time of the firemen was not bad, but the house had been badly affected before the fire could be subdued. Kabiru, his wife, and four children were already burnt to death. But one of the children escaped,\u201d a neighbours to the deceased family said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ibraheem Adekunle,\u00a0the spokesperson for the Osun State Fire Service, confirmed the tragedy and shared a statement signed by Mr Olaniyi Alimi, the Director of the Service.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThe address of the fire incident is Customs Tijani Kabiru Road, Akankan Area, Ede North LG. The street was named after the deceased, who was a Customs officer from the Oyo\/Osun Command.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Tijani Kabiru, reported to be in his late 40s, and his wife, said to be in her early 40s, lost their lives alongside four of their children\u2014three boys and a girl\u2014aged between three and 10 years.
