It was gathered that the inferno razed down a section of the church, destroyed some spiritual objects of worship and other interior property.
The incident reportedly happened on Monday as the church leaders and members have been counting their losses.
Meanwhile, the state governor, Ademola Adeleke has sympathised with the Anglican Bishop of Osun Diocese, RT Rev Folusho Babatunji and the entire Church, for the fire inferno.
Governor Adeleke, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, expressed his pains on the damage caused by the fire incident on the place of worship, saying he is devastated by the thought of loss that the inferno wreaked on the Church’s building before it was put out.
The governor called for increasing alertness of the public to precautions in order to curb the incidence of fire outbreak in the state, noting that fire outbreak is a menace that requires collective effort to stop.
While commending the swift intervention of the rescue team, particularly the Fire Service and emergency workers to the scene of the fire outbreak, Adeleke pointed out that their quick response prevented the further spread of the inferno and ensured that no live was lost.
“I condole with the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese, Rt Rev. Dr Folusho O. Babatunji over the fire incident that torches a part of the Church, situated in Osogbo, the Osun state capital, on Monday,” the governor said.
He added, “It is painful to hear about the devastating damage of the fire, especially as it leaves a segment of the Church ravaged and unusable any longer.
“This is heartwrenching, and I want to convey my sympathy and that of the Government of Osun State to the Church and the Bishop, who may have suffered personal losses as a result of the fire incident.”
