Pandemonium broke out in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, when fire nearly razed down a filling station along Dada Estate.

Our correspondent reports that the fire, whose cause is yet to be known, destroyed the mini shop within the filling station and also left two siblings believed to be children of the owner of the property dead.

Sympathisers trying to put out the inferno at the Bovas Filling Station, along Dada Estate in Osogbo, the Osun state Capital could not hold back the tears.

Eye witnesses, who spoke to us off camera said the fire started just before noon adding that ‎the Osun State Fire Service had been there with one tanker but had to go refill when they ran out of water.

Although the cause of the fire cannot be ascertained just yet but an eyewitness, Ojo Williams, said four people were in the mini shop when the fire erupted.

He said the woman believed to be the wife of the owner of the filling station and a child had been rescued and taken to the hospital leaving two children in the inferno.
