Obasanjo: 'The Fire Could Have Killed Me'

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday said providence saved him from the fire which recently burnt a part of his Hilltop Mansion in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

If the fire which consumed his secretary’s office had occurred during the night, the former President said he would have been suffocated by fumes from the inferno.

He spoke when the executive members of the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party visited him in Abeokuta.

According to him, the smoke from the fire, which enveloped his bedroom, was enough to kill any living being.
