Explosion from a domestic gas
cylinder, Sunday, gutted a residential building opposite the Olomoro Community
market in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was learnt that resultant fire
from the explosion was so severe due to the absence of men of the fire service.
Effort by sympathisers could not
also save the building as it was completely razed down.
An eyewitness who craved
anonymity stated that commercial shops attached to the building were also
affected.
Occupants of the building were
left with nothing apart from clothes they had on before the ugly incident.
An indigene of the Community,
Orerue Emonena confirmed the blast.
“Fire gutted the building
opposite Olomoro main market”, he said,
“Local fire quenchers have tried
their best but all their efforts prove abortive. Properties worth millions of
naira were destroyed.”
Another member of the community,
Anthony Ukpagha said: “The complete house was raised down. It is pathetic. Both
the owners of the house and shops are seriously in pains.
“They need help because as at the
time I left the scene, they don’t have any other clothes to wear. They also
don’t have any place to sleep.”
