The Abeokuta mansion of Nigeria's former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, today went up in flames, reports monitored in New York say.
It is unclear at this time whether Obasanjo was in the palatial estate when the fire started, or how much damage was done, but some reports say that his personal bedroom was damaged.
Some of the accounts say the fire brigade has arrived at the premises and is trying to put out the blaze.
The estate also includes a church that Obasanjo built after he left office.
Updates to this story are on the way.
