In everything we give glory to GOD almighty.
The fire I saw last night and the damages I saw this morning is nothing to write home about. Cars, Buses, Keke, Shops, Houses, etc all destroyed. Millions of naira lost in Onitsha.
Right now some people are homeless.
Some people are in a state of dilemma.
One lady said to me, "we've lost our father's house, the only property I have right now is this gown am wearing". What a pity!

Or is it that electronics shop? Or that keke in front of it ? Or total filling station? Or that 3 storey building ? Or the young boy that is yet to be found? Or the shops opposite Dwell filling station. Or that we fall victims in tw different ways ?
Which one is more important?
May God give everybody that is a victim of this accident the fortitude to bear the loss.

The Government and the Church really need to intervene.

Imagine this clown. It was Anambra state fire-service that put off the fire. I have cousins, nephews and even immediate family in Onitsha who confirmed it.....

Chino I don't know what's wrong with you or do you actually believe you know more than those directly affected? From all indication it took fire fighters and equipments from Asaba to control the fire. This should be acknowledged while Mazi Obiano is urged to lay more emphasis on safety as fire incidents have destroyed a lot in recent past across Anambra State.

ONITSHA FIRE DISASTER AREA @ DMGS

Abagworo you are insane. Where did you read that nonsense. ANS fire service stopped the fire.

Last month there was fire disaster in Owerri, it took the efforts of the Onitsha fire service that drove all the to Owerri to stop the fire escalation. But Okorocha would rather play politics with the lives of his people...

Nothing bro..

Anambra has one of the best fire services in Nigeria. Well trained personnel. What happened could be that the fire incident was not reported on time and it happened at the very odd time of the night. Don't mind what some i.diots are typing here....

rampart street, bad roads and okadas

This goddamn SOB needs to get a brain.

Why are some eediots saying what they didn't witness? Witnesses on radio this morning confirmed fire service from Okpoko came before those from Asaba and main market.

My condolence to those who lost a loved one or properties, gush this happened right in the Onitsha CBD, government must be more proactive.

No wonder the heavy traffic all over town last night because of the diversion of traffic from upper market road.

» Fire razes 13 buildings, 10 vehicles, goods worths of N100 million in Onitsha Fire razes 13 buildings, 10 vehicles, goods worths of N100 million in Onitsha ON FEBRUARY 16, 2017 A night inferno on Wednesday razed a filling station, 10 vehicles, 13 buildings and other property worth millions of naira on Upper New Market Road in Onitsha. An eyewitness told newsmen on Thursday, that the fire started at about 8 p.m when an articulated vehicle, laden with petrol, fell inside Mobil filling station by Dennis Memorial Grammer School (DMGS) roundabout. According to the eyewitness, fuel from the tanker flowed down the road through the drainage, leading to the spread of the fire. The source said the inferno affected parts of a popular building known as Kamo plaza where two banks have offices but that minimal damages were recorded. Mrs Chinelo Onyeuna, a victim and Manager of Bencash Investment Nig. Ltd., a company dealing in electronics and furniture, said she lost items worth N100 million to the inferno. “We had so many goods worth over N100 million. Just look at our plaza, it has burnt down completely. fire “Government should stop all the people operating filling stations near residential buildings,” Onyeuna said. She appealed for assistance from the state government to cushion the effect of the fire. Another victim, Mrs Juana Oboli, from Onitsha, said she lost her residential building which she laboured for 12 years to build. Oboli, a widow and civil servant with the Nigerian Prison Service, Awka, also urged the state government to help her recover from her loss. “I struggled for more than 12 years to complete the house after I lost my husband; I want government to intervene because I don’t have anybody else to help me in this case,” Oboli said. Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer,(PPRO) for the police command in the state, ASP Nkeiruka Nwode, said three suspected hoodlums were arrested during an effort to quell the fire. “We only have five houses burnt, we have like 15 vehicles and five tricycles burnt. I want to thank God who did all these things possible that no life was lost. “We only had casualties who were taken to the hospital as at the time we were here last night. “I really want to advise the public that, they should help government for government to help them. “Some of these shanty houses around, some of these attachments could even be what ignited the fire the more,” she said. The Executive Director of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Dr Paul Odenigbo, explained that the fire service responded early enough to the inferno. Odenigbo said fire fighters from Asaba were called in to assist those from Onitsha and Okpoko when SEMA exhausted its water. “The incident happened about 8 p.m when the tanker coming from Awka road, Onitsha was negotiating the DMGS roundabout and lost control inside the Mobil filling station. “One of the fuel dispensers later caught fire which spread down the road, destroying vehicles and buildings,” he said. He said those 13 houses, 10 vehicles, three tricycles and three filling stations: Mobil, MRS and Total filling stations were affected by the fire.

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 lorry is fallen; it doesn't look like it was discharging fuel.

I gathered that a fuel-carrying lorry was avoiding hitting another vehicle, but in the process somersaulted into a refuel station.

The driver got off the truck and was shouting, "I carry fuel," which allowed people the opportunity to escape before the truck exploded in raging flames.

Many buildings and vehicles were torched. The fire skipped two buildings as fire entered other buildings through fuel running in the drainage system, and stopped at the structure just before Kamo Plaza.
