Popular Nigerian comedian Ayodeji Makun, widely known as AY, has reacted to the fire incident that engulfed his Lagos home on Sunday.

A viral video, recorded by a social media user @Postsubman, shows that AY’s house was gutted by fire on Sunday. The roof of the three-story building was on fire.

Reacting, many colleagues and fans of AY, including his younger brother and fashion designer, Yomi Casual, sympathized with the comedian and his family.

Expressing gratitude to God for the safety of his family, AY took to his Instagram page to share videos and pictures of his wife and children, who are currently on vacation abroad.

He wrote, “Family and God. That's what’s important. Everything else comes and goes. I can’t wait to join you guys in the US in a few days.”

The cause of the fire outbreak is still unknown.
