When there a fire broke out in the home of the beautiful Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw, many sympathized with the actress. However, the owner of the building has now blamed her for causing the fire.


Naij.com previously reported that that fire gutted Kate’s house located at Ojibo Adjaro Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, at about 3pm on Thursday, June 25, while the actress was away working on the set of ‘Do Good’.

The fire was caused by a power surge occasioned by the restoration of electricity by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).



So bad was the fire that Henshaw was said to have lost some of her valuables and could salvage little of her property. Two days after the incident, Henshaw packed out her belongings from the house and she never looked back.


While many had believed that the property belonged to the actress, it has been discovered otherwise, as the house is said to belong to an 85-year-old pensioner who supports himself in old age with the rent from the house.

According to playgroundtv.net, a source close to the elderly landlord said: “You see, it was because of her negligence that the fire started in the first instance. She left her air conditioner on, when she knew she was going out of the house. So, when the power supply was restored in the vicinity, a power surge occurred in her apartment and the fire started. The problem now is that after she evacuated her belongings, she just gave the keys to the gate man and walked away.”

Kate is now said to have got a place somewhere in Oniru estate.

Was she supposed to pay for the damages?

Most of these Nigerian celebrities are over-hyped. They are not that rich as we think. Of course she should pay for the damage if she actually caused the fire. Please I want comments. Thanks

She didn't take the right step if that is the true story. 85 years old pensioner @ that! Haba Madam Kate, you no try O!

Let be realistic...... she ain't supposed to skid off like that, and again it could be that she was angry over the incident...... turns out it's a clear case of negligence.


She does own the landlord an apology if she can't pay for the damages!

All these fake posters in this nairaland that always try to high and hype the status of Nigerian celebrities, I think is right time you stop it.. Kate Henshaw bought house in VGC, or Lekki Phase 2, Genevieve bought latest Range, built house in Omole Estate, Halima Abubakar built house for her parents in Ajao estate, Aki and Pawpaw built mighty hotel in Ejemekwuru, or in Ikperedi Orlu, Kcee without an album bought Ikoyi crib, I tire for una

If the story is fair, kate did not behave as someone who intends to build her own house.
Well dey say Karma is a biatch.
Papa jst over look her attitude, try sourcing funds to fix ur apartment.

Kate didn't do d right thing if dis report is tru. She should apologize 2 d landlord n try 2 pay some amount 2 fix d damage house

Till we know how true this report is
A journalist in the making like me should

I been think say na Kate personal house ooooo !!!

What do you mean by "if she actually caused the fire"? Is she PHCN that supplied unregulated current, thereby causing power surge?

There is nothing like negligence here. If I decide to leave my appliances on, na me go pay the electricity bills. Blame the gaddem power company for supplying overcurrent or even the owner of the house for using substandard wiring cables.

The story is true. Here is a link..http://www.informationng.com/2015/09/kate-henshaws-85-year-old-landlord-lambasts-her-over-fire-incident.html

That is why nigerians should start taking insurance seriously. There wouldn't be need for this if the house was insured

If she felt she wasn't at fault,she should have called or located the landlord,to give him his keys..... She ought to be dragged to court for damages

Who is Kate Henshaw?

[size=35pt]TOO BAD!! [/size]

Celebrities living fake lives since the time immemorial.
