“We are suspecting arson because the building was not connected to the electricity, eliminating the possibility of electrical surge but we are still investigating the cause of the inferno”, he said.

The Art village is a private owned centre of excellence where artworks from several popular and up and coming artists from within and around Osun were curated and stored.

The works lost to the inferno include wood carving, fabrics, metal works, batik, oil paintings, hand woven clothes among others.
