A section of the palace of Ooni of Ife has been razed by fire which has been linked to a power surge.
Â
The courtyard of the palace was gutted by fire at about 11:30pm on Friday, April 28, shortly after the electrical appliances in the affected apartment exploded.
Â
It reportedly took the combined efforts of the fire service, palace aides and indigenes to put out the fire.
Â
The palace spokesman, Otunba Moses Olafare, confirmed that the situation has been brought under control.
