  Edo State Government says it will set up a commission of enquiry to look into the circumstances surrounding the fire that gutted the ministry of higher education building in Benin.
  
  The fire, which took place on Wednesday, reportedly started from  the central store in the building
  
  Governor Adams Oshiomhole was quoted to have promised to set up the panel after inspecting the fire scene on Thursday.
  
  He said, “It seems to me that there might be a case of arson. Somebody must have chosen for one reason or the other to destroy some documents for whatever purpose for which we do not readily know.
  
  “If there was no light at the material time, then the question of possible electrical fault does not arise and it is possible that somebody had planted something, maybe to burn the place to destroy some evidence or something.
  
  “I think the thing to do is to set an enquiry to establish what went wrong, at least, to prevent further occurrence and to find out those who might be behind the dastardly act. It is very unfortunate.”
