A fire on Friday evening gutted part of Yinka Ayefele’s Music House in Ibadan, Oyo State, home to Fresh FM, Blast FM, and the Merry Makers’ Band.

The fire, which reportedly started around 7:30 pm, caused panic among residents and fans as thick smoke rose from the multi-purpose complex located along Challenge–Ring Road.
