Sequel to a fire incident that occurred on Friday in Yenagoa, the state capital, the state Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has empathized with victims involved in the accident.
While conducting a visit to the scene of the fire incident, Dr Peter Akpe, the state deputy governor who represented the state Governor described the incident as unfortunate but expressed gratitude that no life was lost.
“We are here on behalf of His Excellency, the Governor to show concern over what has happened. This is an emergency. However, we give glory to God that no life was lost and that the level of damage did not get beyond what we are seeing.
“Let me commend the efforts of the fire service agency and other relevant agencies and even the neighbours for their swift intervention; if not, it would have been worse.
“We will take the necessary action to follow up. The Police, SDS, Comptroller of Fire Services will undertake an investigation to ascertain whether the incident was man-made or it was an electrical fault. Meanwhile, electrical sources to this environment will be shut down for now.”
