Fire razes block of flats at Gwagwalada
A block of four flats located along Demonstration Road in Gwagwalada, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was on Saturday razed down by fire.
Eye witness reports that efforts by men of the FCT Fire Service to put out the fire which started at about 10 a.m. was abortive. Some occupants of the flat blamed the cause of the fire on one of the occupants whom they alleged left her cooker on.
The suspected occupant however, denied the allegation, saying that she had not even opened her kitchen when the fire broke out. ``I have not even opened my kitchen this morning. I just went across the road to buy chicken and met the house on fire on my return.
“My little baby would have been in the fire if not that I carried him with me,'' Ifeoma Amadi, the occupant, said in tears.
