Fire razes home of Bidemi Kosoko

A fire incident has transpired at the residence of Bidemi Kosoko, the renowned Nollywood actress active in the Yoruba film industry.

Sola Kosoko-Abina, her sister, conveyed news of the incident through an Instagram post, sharing videos that depicted the extensive damage caused to the actress’s property, valued at millions of naira.

Sola disclosed that the house succumbed to fire while she and her siblings were at the residence of Jide Kosoko, their father and veteran actor, on Tuesday.

Expressing gratitude, she acknowledged the neighbors for their efforts in extinguishing the fire.

“It has become a tradition in my family to spend 26th of December, which is Boxing Day at our daddy’s place, where we all exchange and unwrap our gifts,” she wrote.

“This year, we decided to record the activities because it’s always fun merrying together with family.

“So Bidemi Kosoko, her husband, kids and her domestic staff, were all at our daddy’s residence, so her apartment was locked up.

“In the middle of our merriment, we received an alarming call that Bidemi’s apartment was on fire as well as her neighbour’s apartment.

“In fact, before my dad and Bidemi were getting ready to attend another important event, we received the call.

“And what we got was what happened in the video. We were on different video calls watching the scenario, how the firefighter arrived, how her apartment was forced open and how they eventually put off the fire.

“Thanks to Bidemi’s friend, Taiwo Lawal and her husband, who stay in the same estate and rushed there to assist.

“People in the neighbourhood showed love and support to ensure the fire was put out. We appreciate you all for your show of love and kindness.”
