In the same vein, The Head Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, Margaret Adeseye said the fire destroyed the shelter covering the late Prophet TB Joshua’s tomb. In her words, she 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 are yet to identify the cause of the fire.”
