A fire broke out on Tuesday at an OPay office located along Akala Expressway in Ibadan, Oyo State, destroying property valued at millions of naira.

The blaze, which started in the afternoon, damaged sections of the building and caused panic among nearby residents, drivers, and business owners. Many onlookers gathered as thick smoke and flames filled the area.
