An early Sunday morning fire has razed to the ground the duplex of ex-Barcelona and Eagles star Gbenga Okunowo in Ibadan.

According to Okunowo,  his house was completely razed to the ground by a fire which came from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) premises next door to his house on Ring Road in Ibadan.

‘My whole house is gone. Even the clothes, boxers and slippers I’m wearing now were given to me by friends,’ he lamented.

His passport, his European residence papers, medals, trophies and other properties were all lost in the fire which started around 2.30am today from the PHCN compound next to his house.
