Information reaching Nollywoodgists.com indicates that the residence of a popular Yoruba actor, Soji Taiwo, better known as Oshe Omo Banke, located inside Omole Estate in Lagos was recently gutted by a strange fire.

It was disclosed to us by a source close to the actor that the inferno destroyed properties worth huge amount of fortune.

The unfortunate incident, according to what we were told by a friend close to the actor, occurred last week and it left Soji Taiwo devastated.

“Soji Taiwo's house was affected by a strange fire on Saturday morning while he was preparing to attend a function he was paid to MC. He however went for the occasion, but very late,” one of his friends told Nollywoodgists.com.

When Nollywoodgists.com contacted the actor on this story, he confirmed it, but said he has gotten over. He said, ”Oti sele naa ni yen, kosi oun ti mo le se si. K'amadupe emi o ba lo,” which loosely means 'there is nothing I can do about the incident, I am just grateful that no life was lost.'
