Banky W’s Lekki House gutted by fire

Banky Wellington popular known as Banky W has confirmed a fire incident that occurred at his Lekki home.

The fire outbreak which was reported to have started early on Tuesday was caused by a faulty air conditioner in his home.

Banky shared details on what happened on his Instagram page, saying

“So there’s good news and bad news. The good news is… I’m thanking God that I’m alive to give the bad news as a testimony.

“Bad news is, I was lying awake in bed at about 6am, and I just started inhaling smoke. Stood up to shut off my TV and AC and realised it was coming from outside my door.

“Opened it to see the whole stairway was filled with huge gusts of black smoke/soot, and a fire was burning stuff downstairs. The smoke was so much I couldn’t get down past it to see the source of the flames.

“Rushed back into my room and climbed down from the second floor balcony with my dog and then got help from the amazing workers and neighbours who helped me put out the flames.

“Turns out the ac in the living room had caught fire.”

Banky W sarcastically added that “I know a lot of people have been trying to call and I appreciate it. Maybe the fire burnt some of the network in the house because I can’t receive calls LOL, but instead of calling to say sorry please just maybe say a prayer and thank God with me,” he said.

The artiste stated that he is grateful for life, health, grace and mercy of God concerning his life.

Fans and loved ones of the artiste have been sending their sympathy and love to the artiste and also thanking God for his life.
