A fire outbreak on Thursday night, destroyed machinery and rice products at the Abakaliki Rice Mill Company premises in Ebonyi State.

The Abakaliki Rice Mill Company premises which is located at the Onuebonyi area of Ebonyi State, was engulfed by a fire outbreak which destroyed machinery and rice products, and also affected one shop, but was later put out by the Ebonyi State fire service before it could cause further havoc.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, some residents of the area said that the fire incident may have been caused by power surge, as they described the damage caused by the unfortunate incident as devastating.

While speaking to a correspondent, the chairman of the Abakaliki Rice Mill Ltd, Joseph Ununu, who confirmed the incident, said that the fire started at about 9 p.m. on Thursday night which attracted the attention of the leadership of the mill who were still in the office when the inferno started.



The chairman who described the fire incident as mysterious said that the fire started from the rear of the building and took over the whole structure before it was noticed by the security men on duty who then quickly alerted the authorities.



The owner of the shop located at 13 A Line, Moses Oboh, lamented the ordeal and called on the government to come to his aid, adding that he may not survive the shock and the trauma of losing up to an estimated N50 million at once.
