Dr Irene Damola Burnt To Death!!! by kelvee(m): 10:38am On Feb 11, 2016 |
A retired radiologist and the eldest child of late
Ologbosere of Warri Kingdom, Chief O. N. Rewane, was
yesterday burnt to death in an early morning fire in Lagos.
The
cause of the fire that killed the 75-year-old Dr. Irene
Damola (nee Rewane) at her 5, Tola Adewunmi Street,
Maryland, Lagos residence, could not be ascertained at
press time.
Vanguard gathered that the fire started from her
bedroom in the duplex occupied by her and a domestic
staff.
Eyewitnesses said smoke was noticed upstairs at
midnight, following which security men raised alarm.
Efforts by the private guards in the street to put out the
fire failed.
Eyewitnesses said: “Some people even attempted to move
in to rescue Dr. Damola, but the entrance door was
locked.
“The young lady living with her later opened the door. By
the time the fire was put out by the fire service men, she
had been burnt to death.”
Lagos State Fire Service Director, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, said
the fire service got to the scene at about 4.02a.m. as soon
as they got the information and tried to save the lives of
the occupants.
He said: “It is a five-bedroom apartment. The woman, Dr.
Irene Damola, lives upstairs, while the young lady staying
with her lives downstairs. The fire started from her
bedroom.
“She made efforts to escape, but the fire caught up with
her at the door of her bedroom, where my men met her
dead.
“We were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the
ground floor. The corpse was handed over to policemen
from Anthony Village Division.”
Late Dr. Damola retired as a radiologist in Saudi Arabia
before returning to Nigeria. She also worked at Lagos
University Hospital, LUTH |
