Popular Actress Loses Millions As Fire Engulf Home On Boxing Day

Popular Nollywood actress, Bidemi Kosoko, faced a significant financial setback on Boxing Day, December 26, as her residence fell victim to a devastating fire.

Bidemi’s sister and fellow actress, Shola Kosoko-Abina, conveyed the distressing news of the fire through an Instagram post on Wednesday, December 27. Heart-wrenching videos shared by Shola showed the extensive damage to the apartment and its contents.

Expressing gratitude for the blessings of 2023, Shola shared, “We thank God for his faithfulness, love and prospering our lives in the year 2023.” She described the family tradition of spending Boxing Day at their father’s place, where gifts are exchanged and unwrapped. This year, however, took an unexpected turn.

Detailing the events leading to the fire tragedy, Shola explained, “Bidemi Kosoko, her husband, kids and her domestic staff were all at our daddy’s residence, so her apartment was locked up.”

Tragedy struck amidst the festive celebrations, and Shola recounted the alarming moment they received a call that Bidemi Kosoko’s apartment, along with her neighbor’s, was on fire. Describing the chaotic situation, she said, “We were on different video calls watching the scenario, how the firefighter arrived, how her apartment was forced open and how they eventually put off the fire.”

Acknowledging the support received, Shola expressed gratitude, “Thanks to Bidemi’s friend, Taiwo Lawal and her husband who stay in the same estate and rushed there to assist. People in the neighbourhood showed love and support to ensure the fire was put out.”

Despite the loss, the family is grateful that no lives were lost in the fire. Shola concluded, “We appreciate you all for your show of love and kindness. Such a thing will not happen to anyone again I pray. In all, we are thankful to God for sparing our lives as no one was caught in the fire. We shall witness the year 2024 in peace and joy. Please thank God for us. In all, we give THANKS TO HIM.”
