TVC E. R&B singer, Banky W, has revealed that there was a fire incident in his house in Lekki, Lagos, on Tuesday morning. The singer said although the damage was minimal, his “awards, portraits, and some small electronics” were destroyed.
Banky W took to Instagram to narrate how the fire incident occurred and to share pictures of the damage done. He wrote in part, “I was laying awake in bed at about 6am, and I just started smelling smoke. Stood up to shut off my tv and ac and realized 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 2nd 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.”

“Thank God for life. And I’m not even upset. I’m just grateful for life and health and for the grace and mercy of God on my life. I figure I’m about to have the best year ever so the devil tried to throw a tantrum. But not today Satan. Not today, not ever,” he said.
