A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT:
TWO INJURED AT KUTI FIRE OUTBREAK.
The Kuti Hall buttery fire started around 6a.m and if not for
the timely intervention of the modern fire service of the
university, the whole buttery would have been razed down.
The Oyo state Fire service which later joined, first had
problem with their archaic generators! Some said they left the
ropes to start their pumps and were looking for one. Before
the men could start their pumps, the UI service with efforts
from other students had already put out the fire.
The fire however was successful in razing down the buttery
but only partially affected the cafe although cracks which
were seen on the building's wall will now render the place
unusable at the moment.
Also available at the scene were the UI ambulance and
several members of the university management.
Unconfirmed reports have it that two students who were
running to the scene suffered injuries. One of them who was
running in from the Indy/Zik axis was slightly hit by an
oncoming car! It was said by an eyewitness that he was
quickly transferred to Jaja where it was affirmed that he
suffered no major injuries.
The other person slipped at the scene of the incidence and
broke his teeth. He would be needing some stitches in his
mouth to get better.
THE OTHER SIDE;
For now, Kuti's Major Export, which is the Kuti Burger will
not be available in the foreign exchange market again as the
production factories for now cease to exist! The Tedder Hall
buttery which suffered same earlier this session is yet to be
significantly renovated while gives the prospect of the Kuti
Hall Buttery!
Zik Hall and Independence Hall guys must however be
commended for their timely intervention in aiding the
submersion of the fire outbreak. Some were particularly seen
carrying buckets of water from their hall to help smolder the
fire while others help in lamenting and taking videos and
pictures of the outbreak!
