A fire gutted Ghalib Chambers, the law firm of renowned Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Prof. Yusuf Ali, on Wednesday.

The blaze, triggered by a power surge, broke out around 9:22 a.m. at the Unity Road building in Ilorin, Kwara State, which houses 80 offices.

Adekunle, spokesman for the Kwara State Fire Service, confirmed the incident, noting that firefighters’ swift response limited damage to just one office room, saving the remaining 79.

“Upon receiving the distress call, firefighters were immediately deployed to the scene. Their swift intervention prevented further destruction, containing the fire to a single office on the second floor of the two-storey building, which houses about 80 offices.
