Can u rule out Terrorism?
You can't know for sure, but once again Obiano will be in a fix over this especially this election season!. A City like Onitsha with out proper fire fighting engine is a disaster waiting to happen!. We don't need medicine after dead anymore!.Some of The governor's convoy can be sold off so as to buy at least 20 fire engines for Onitsha!. I know how painful it is to lose some of your investments, when it would have cost the govt peanuts to purchase some fire engines!.

I suspect fowl play from the moment i saw the pictures. Too many things are happening lately in Onitsha that was not the case before.

Onitsha now have too many Northern and Southwest Security Personnel running around everywhere.

Quite a lot of dem are anti-igbo. Like u said, medicine after death is pointless.

Anambra needs to be proactive. Onitsha needs regulation, regulatory agency and proper planning, as well as a well trained and armed private security/surveillance team.

Lagos has Lastma and various other agency. Wat is Onitsha waiting for? We are not asking for Skyscrapers, just the basics.

Many trapped, 10 buildings, banks, markets, filling station razed in Onitsha:
Many people were trapped, yesterday, as fire razed about 15 buildings in Onitsha, Anambra state.The fire started at about 8.20pm, yesterday, from a filling station at Denis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha (DMGS) Junction. Banks, street markets and many vehicles were burnt.It was gathered that the fire was caused by a tanker loaded with fuel, which lost control and fell into the filling station situated at DMGS Roundabout and exploded on impact.At the time of filing this report, the fire was still raging, despite the presence of officials of Fire Service who came an hour after the fire started, but could not stop it from spreading. It was also gathered that many were injured while trying to escape from their buildings, while others sustained injuries while trying to remove valuables from their shops and houses. As at last night, there was no official confirmation of the number of casualties, but security operatives and the Red Cross were on ground to secure life and property.

Onitsha This Morning after The fire of last Night @ DMGS.

Re: Onitsha Today by investnow2013: 11:37am On Feb 16, 2017
ONITSHA ON FIRE.... Yesterday night, some minutes after the hour of 8, a fuel tanker offloading at Mobil fuel station, DMGS roundabout bursted and HELL was let loosed....the gutter was flooded with fuel mixed with fire as if the biblical lake of fire is present in Onitsha. Upper new market road have 5 petrol stations situated in- between residential houses: this is dangerous. It was gathered that only a girl lost her life. Properties worth millions consumed by fire. It is worthy of note that Anambra state have no Fire Fighting Equipments...only a fire service vehicle was available without enough water and personnel. The situation is very bad....Government should look into these issues to save lives and properties of people they vowed to protect.

A prince must have two qualities. The first is compassion. The second is to be decisive and ruthless even to those closest and dearest to him..Chief Femi Fani Kayode

We are still at the sight of the fire outbreak yesterday in Onitsha @ DMGS roundabout/upper new market road

Kudos to Anambra state government as the whole state apparatus are here,the police, army,red cross,civil defence,ocha brigade, Commissioners ,market Leaders led by Chief Ewepudike, thousands of traders and inhabitants of Onitsha

Onitsha alone needs like 7 sub fire stations 1. main market/inland town(Already in existence),2.relief market ogbaru/Okpoko(already in existence),3.Bridge head market/fegge,4.ochanja/iweka rd ,5.Obosi/Awada //Ugwuagba/Electrical /Oba,6.Omagba/Nkpor/Toll gate.7.Gra/33/Akpaka axis

Secondly, emergency ambulance services should go in hand in with the aforementioned sub station districts, in such a way we must safeguarded the city of Onitsha

Finally, owners of houses and businesses in Onitsha should start insuring there investments against natural and man made disasters

Since 1985 we have been relying heavily on Delta state whenever there is a big fire outbreak in the city of Onitsha and it's environs

Let my beloved Government act now,proactive engagement and even having a helicopter Fire fighter will help solve this problem and minimise casualties once and for all

Eneh Victor Chigozie and co can be playing dirty politics with my heartfelt and sincere submission probably cos they have zero investment here even ma Ede(cocoyam) fa enwero ,so everything to them is politics against APGA and Willie Obiano, what a hell?

Eneh for playing dirty with looses and fire inferno APC will never qualify your boss for the primaries cos you do not jubilate in another's tribulations, it's unanambrarian,Unafrican and uncultured!

Blame them not cos they do not own any investment nor family inheritance near Anambra state ,therefore they can only be playing devil's advocate on social media, Ndi Anambra who owns or live in Onitsha can never be seen playing dirty rather are busy putting heads to together in seeing how we can help to forestall such human and capital damages tomorrow

Gunmen Disguised As Masquerades Kill Two, Wound One In Onitsha

By Odinaka Nwolisa

A Police officer on patrol duty along Oguta Road, near Assemblies of God Church, Onitsha was shot and killed this morning by unknown gunmen, who also made away with his gun.

The gunmen, disguised in masquerade costume, also killed an Okada passenger, and injured the rider, in their bid to escape.

Anambra Broadcasting Service corespondent, Odinaka Nwolisa gathered from eye witnesses that the incident took place around nine this Sunday morning.

ABS, on arrival at the scene, witnessed the presence of security personnel parading the area, even as movement in the area was partially hindered.

Sources said the police officer was standing opposite the church, when two men in Okada ran onto him, shot him and made away with his gun.

The gunmen allegedly escaped through Tasia street by Christ the King College, CKC axis.

Following the incident, the Anambra Police Command held a press conference at the Command headquarters to clarify exactly what happened and debunk the rumour that the Assemblies of God church was attacked. DCP Operations Mike Okoli and Police PRO Nkiru Nwode addressed the press.

Here is the official press release on the incident by the police.

Gentlemen of the press, I welcome you all to this press conference today, 13th August, 2017.

I have the authority of the commissioner of police, CP Garba Baba Umar psc to intimate you on the incident that happened this afternoon at Oguta road Onitsha.

At about 10.30 hrs of today, men on disguise as masquerades attacked policemen on foot patrol, and opened fire on them. The team of policemen, responded swiftly and arrested one while others on the run are being trailed and would soon be apprehended.

Unfortunately,one of the police men was critically injured and has since been taken to the hosptial for proper medical care .

CP Garba warns perpetrators and would be perpetrators to desist from acts of crime as the command will not hesitate to deal with anyone found committing any crime in Anambra state , in accordance with the provisions of the law.

He also advised parents to restrain their children and wards from engaging in acts capable of ruining their future.

The Commissioner while imploring Ndi Anambra to assist the police in its responsibilities of safeguarding the state by reporting suspicious movements in their localities promptly, promised that the command will not relent in its drive till all criminals relocate from the state.

Picture of Oguta Road Onitsha after the incident

Men! See major road in a major Nigerian city!! shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

Nigeria is a very sick ugly country men!
Look at the famous Oguta road, a major thoroughfare in Onitsha metropolis!

Forget street lights etc, Why can't we even have a well marked basic tarring of a major road with gutters open or closed in a major urban center?

No wonder Nigerians run to Malawi in picture below and think they are overseas.
Even the poorest African countries do a lot better than Nigeria in spite of their poverty!
Nigeria always looks like a deserted war torn place.
