The tomb shelter of the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua, has been destroyed by fire.
The tomb shelter was located at Agodo area of Ikotun, Lagos State.
The fire started around 6.30pm on Wednesday, it was gathered.
The acting Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency, Ibrahim Farinloye, who also confirmed the incident, said the fire had been put out.
Farinloye said, “The incident happened at a building belonging to the late pastor. The late pastor usually went there to relax and meditate. Federal fire service officials moved in to put out the fire.”
The Head, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, Margaret Adeseye, said the fire affected the shelter covering the late pastor’s tomb.
Adeseye said, “It is confirmed that a section around the tomb of the late pastor TB Joshua caught fire. A shelter was built to cover the tomb because it is an open place, so, it was the shelter that caught fire. But we were able to curtail it and it did not spread beyond where it started from. We have yet to identify the cause of the fire.”
