A Christmas tragedy which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday (yesterday) has left residents of Rivers state in pains and lament.

It was gathered that a fire outbreak caused by a fallen petroleum tanker killed at least four persons and consumed apartments and shops around MOPOL-nineteen, G.R.A Phase Four, Port Harcourt, the state capital.

 The petroleum tanker, which fell around Rumuola, had spilled its content into the drain extending from Rumuola to MOPOL-nineteen.

A witness said the four victims were family members who were unable to flee like other residents who survived the fire. Several houses and property worth millions of naira were destroyed, while several others suffered different degrees of burns and were rushed to the hospital by the officials of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

 Those affected by the inferno that destroyed houses and shops around Rumuola and MOPOL-nineteen area of Port Harcourt blamed slow response of the Rivers state Fire Service for the level of damage done by the fire.

We are not an organized society, neither are we civilized. Basic things don’t work, dilapidated infrastructure and facilities. we have no maintenance culture. We don’t learn for past events/disasters to make better, safer and more effective procedures and regulations.

This will never be our portion in Jesus Christ name. Amen.

Amen

must tell us that you are stupid.

Rivers state mist recorded death in a day. If not buy killing, it will kidnappers, if not SARS, it will be collapse building.

Who kmws maybe their Governor use those blood for sacrifice.


Presently now, thier Youth has started coming out and collect phones and properties. No body will stop them.

Last week, they ask each compound to pay #52000 for security money and the building in that rumusi alone is more than 15000.

Anyway RIP
