According to neighbors, Rachel who is their
tenant, has been dating the pastor who is in
charge of Celestial Church of God, Joy of the
Lord Parish located inside the premises for
five years. The pastor's wife, Mary Shofolabo,
his children Taiwo, 19, and Iredamola and a
relative, Kazeem, 7, died at the General
Hospital, Gbagada where they rushed to for
treatment. According to Nation News, narrating
what happened, a neighbour who wants to
remain anonymous said;
.

“It is a terrible thing, very shocking. It
happened around 1am. It was Mama (the late
Mrs Shofolabo) that woke up other residents
with her scream. I was in my own room when
I heard her voice and came out. Coming out, I
saw fire on her body and she was shouting
that Iya Rachel has burnt everyone in her
house. .
.
That she saw someone moving from her
house and thought it was a thief. But when
she looked from her window, she saw that it
was Iya Rachel. Since they are not close, she
screamed and asked her what she was doing
in her house. She woke up the other children
at home and told them she saw a thief moving
round and when they tried to go through the
door, they realised it was locked from the
outside. . .
.
.
It was when they were returning to their room
that they heard the explosion and people
started running. It was Mama that used her
hand to break her window so that they can all
come out from there. When I saw her, fire was
on her body and she was shouting that we
should go and help her children inside the
house that Iya Rachel has set fire in her
house. I got to the place and saw Taiwo,
Segun, Elijah and one other person.
famousblogng Cont... They were the ones who
told me that Kazeem was still inside, at that
time, the fire was very heavy and no one could
enter. Neighbours started trying to put out the
fire while some of us rushed them to Isolo
General Hospital but they were rejected. We
went to a private hospital and they said we
have to deposit N200,000. Since we didn’t
have the money, we rushed to Gbagada
General Hospital. There was no car and so,
Mama and others were put inside tricycle, I
stood by the edge of the tricycle, while Taiwo
was carried on a motorcycle. By the time we
got to the hospital, around 2am, Taiwo was
swollen. They started treating them and they
were responding. Mama even told the doctor
on duty what she saw and explained
everything to him. But later in the day, she
passed on and few minutes after her, Taiwo
died too. Their father came back from vigil
around 4am and he saw what has happened.
He followed some of the neighbours to the
hospital to see them. The police was
contacted that night. At the trauma and burns
section of the Gbagada General, family
members and sympathisers trooped in to see
Segun and Elijah, who were severely burnt.
