Soldiers and men of the State Fire Dervice were drafted to K&R Filling Station, Oke Agodi area in Ilorin metropolis, to put off the raging fire that gutted the facility at about 9.30pm.

But, the hoodlums for unknown reasons started throwing stones at the soldiers and fire service men and in the process wounded a soldier and two firemen.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the soldiers eventually restored normalcy in the area while the firemen were also able to put off the fire.

However, two vehicles and two offices were consumed by the fire before it was put out by the firemen.
