Mrs Theresa Jimoh, the mother of business mogul, Jimoh Ibrahim, has been killed in an early morning fire incident in Lagos.
The victim, who was about 76 years old, was in her house at Victoria Garden City, in Lagos, when a fire broke out at about 2 am.
She was allegedly burnt to death before the inferno was put out by firefighters from the Lagos State Fire Service.
The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, confirmed the incident.
He noted that the remains of the deceased have been deposited in a morgue, adding that investigations were ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.
The late Mrs Ibrahim moved to VGC, closer to her billionaire son after she was freed by kidnappers who abducted her in 2011.
She was kidnapped in Igbotako, in Ondo State and released in Sapele, Delta State after her family had reportedly paid a huge ransom.
Her son, Jimoh, now lives in Dubai.
