The management of Fresh FM Nigeria has officially confirmed a fire outbreak that gutted its head office located at Challenge, Ibadan, on Friday night.
In a statement signed by Samson Akindele, the Group Head of Corporate Affairs for Fresh FM Nigeria and Yinka Ayefele Limited, the organisation revealed that the inferno destroyed critical facilities.
This includes the studios of Fresh 105.9 FM and Blast 98.3 FM.
The statement further disclosed that the blaze extended to adjoining offices such as the newsroom, transmitter/server room, and other vital broadcasting equipment.
Also, the damages left behind severe structural and equipment damage.
Efforts by staff to extinguish the fire with in-house tools were unsuccessful due to the intensity of the flames before professional firefighters intervened.
“We cannot immediately quantify the extent of the damage caused by the devastating inferno, the cause of which is yet to be determined,” Akindele stated.
The management expressed heartfelt appreciation to residents, passersby, and officials of the Oyo State Fire Service, who were quick to respond and assist in containing the situation.
