A section of the ancient palace of the Arole Oodua, the Ooni of Ile-Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, was on Wednesday afternoon engulfed by fire.

First hand information on the incident revealed that the fire started  inside one of the buildings within the palace, but the timely intervention of men of fire service prevented its spread to other buildings.
