Although the cause  of the incident was unknown, the state’s  Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Victor Babayemi, who confirmed  the development said the incident would be investigated.
He also said that no one had been arrested in connection with the incident.
The party's Director of  Publicity, Mr Kola Kolawole, said people with `evil minds` might be responsible for the incident.

An eye witness, who craved anonymity,  said that the incident  would have been more devastating if not for the early intervention of men of the fire service.
