Omojuwa.com reports that officials of the Lagos State Fire Service  have been deployed to the palace and are doing their best to put out the fire.

The cause of the fire still remains unknown.

Just last week, the Oba publicly shunned the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.

Omojuwa.com reports that a certain Tunde Awoyeni claimed that the palace of the Ooni of Ife would invoke the wrath of his ancestors on the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu.

The inferno might seem a result of this to some however, Oba Ogunwusi has denied planning to curse Oba Akiolu.
