Bidemi’s sister, Sola Kosoko-Abina, took to her Instagram account on Wednesday to share the distressing news along with videos capturing the aftermath of the fire.

Expressing gratitude for God’s faithfulness in the year 2023, Sola explained the family’s tradition of spending Boxing Day at their father’s place, exchanging gifts and relishing in each other’s company. This year, however, took an unexpected turn as a call alerted them to the fire in Bidemi’s apartment and her neighbour’s.

Sola recounted, “In the middle of our merriment, we received an alarming call that Bidemi’s apartment was on fire as well as her neighbour’s apartment. In fact, myself, my dad and Bidemi were getting ready to attend another important event before we received the call. And what we got was what happened in the video.”

With the timely arrival of firefighters and the assistance of Bidemi’s friend, Taiwo, and her husband, the blaze was successfully extinguished. Sola Kosoko expressed gratitude for the supportive neighbours who rallied to ensure the fire was brought under control.

She added, “Thanks to Bidemi’s friend, Taiwo Lawal, and her husband who stay in the same estate and rushed there to assist. People in the neighbourhood showed love and support to ensure the fire was put out.”

Despite the material loss, Sola affirmed that no lives were lost in the incident, expressing appreciation for the outpouring of love and kindness from the community. She concluded, “In all, we are thankful to God for sparing our lives as no one was caught in the fire. We shall witness the year 2024 in peace and joy. Please thank God for us. In all, we give THANKS TO HIM.”
