On Tuesday night at Bamako street Ogba -Ikeja, Dream Studio, where TV Reality show, the Nigerian Idol is recorded, was almost destroyed by fire.
Apparently the fire started in one of the four rehearsal rooms. It began when there was a burst of fire after a change in the source of power supply. Surge from the generator powered light sparked off the fire.
The Nigeria Fire Service came in early enough to prevent the fire from spreading to other rehearsal rooms and the studio.
The fire was soon brought under control and Fremantle Media Enterprises, organizers of the show, tweeted that Dreams Studio, where the Nigeria Idol is being shot, caught fire in the early hours of Tuesday, 24th January this year.
“We regret to tell our fans and followers of the show that we woke up to discover a fire situation at our studio this morning. But it has been controlled. Thanks to the swift response of the Fire Services and neighbouring residents who immensely assisted, the fire was put out.
In its official statement the orgainers of the show affirmed that “We had a minor fire incident yesterday (Tuesday) that affected one of our administrative offices. No one was harmed and the studio was in no way affected. We emphasised that Nigerian Idol season 2 will go according to the original schedule”.
