A Catechist serving in a Catholic Church at Amaokwe Ugba, Umuahia North LGA of Abia State, Mr Benjamin Amaechi and his wife, Margaret have cried foul, following the early morning fire that destroyed their home this week.

The couple, who spoke to journalists after the incident, alleged that their four-bedroom apartment may have been set ablaze by persons they had advised to repent and turn away from their bad characters.

The fire victims said that the inferno which started from the room of the Catechist while they were still asleep, swiftly spread to other parts of the building, consuming everything they owned and leaving only the clothes they were putting on at the time of the incident.

The building, according to them, was razed to ashes despite the intervention of sympathetic members of the community and personnel of Abia State Fire Service.

According to Margaret Amaechi, a teacher, there was no electricity spark or surge before the fire outbreak.

Speaking further, her husband, Mr Benjamin Amaechi lamented that the corpse of his mother-in-law, whose burial is coming up in March is still in the mortuary, adding to his sorrows.

The couple, who thanked God for sparing saving them from being consumed, appealed to individuals to come to their rescue.

May Almighty God Be With This Family In Pains

The uncertainty of this world and this life. Imagine loosing everything that one has worked in life. Sleeping with all the house properties intact and waking up almost naked with just their night wears.

So sorry

Sorry sir

Why would somebody set your house on fire because you told him to repent? It does not add up at all

Peter Obi to the rescue.

Have u 4gotten how a woman was lynched to death for preaching the gospel in the streets of Abuja? Fear the heart of humans Chief.

Some people are just irredeemable and must be left alone to learn the hard way or they might harm you instead.

Fulani herdsmen, UGM, Ekpa boys, IPOB, ESN....!

Abeg who is the culprit?

How did he know the arsonists were those he was preaching to?

This is terrible ooo...we can only imagine how it feels to wokeup only to see properties on fire and helplessly watch it burn to ashes...

This is terrible

Wickedness is common in that part of the country in recent times

So sad!
