FIRE RENDERS FAMILY
HOMELESS
It was a
pity and sorrowful sight to behold at No 49 Osian Street by
Onyeacholem Street when a house belonging to one Mr. Godwin was razed
down by fire. The ugly incident which took place on Sunday, 30th
September, 2012 had all the properties in the building burnt to
ashes.
Narrating the
ordeal to newsmen, the victim’s daughter, Miss Joy Godwin said that,
on that fateful day her family members and other occupants of the
building went to church, and about 12noon people from the
neighborhood came to their church with the news that their house was
on fire.

She stated that
immediately, they rushed down home only to meet crowd of people,
including men of the Agbor Fire Service making efforts to put off the
fire. Miss Godwin however appreciated God over the situation, saying
that, they are still alive and that only those who are alive that are
guaranteed of better life tomorrow.
Miss Godwin
called on well- meaning Nigerians, federal and State government to
come to their aid, as the fire outbreak has rendered them homeless.
Some person
living around the area disclosed to Ika weekly that the fire outbreak
must have resulted from the high power voltage brought by PHCN
