The fire incident started at about 4:00am on the 18th July 2013.
Our sources were at the fire raging factory site immediately we received the
notification. Members of the Fire service, Nigeria Police, Civil defense,
Nigerian navy and Federal road safety corps were all available to implement
safety measures to evacuate the
staffs of the company and also to ensure no
further loss of life’s and property.
Although no loss of
life was reported but the estimate of damaged property is worth billions of
Naira. The cause of the fire was not ascertained as the spokesman of Coscharis
group, Godwin Umaka made us understand upon interview with our correspondent. We
believe it could be a technical fault from one of the electrical installations.
The fire was so intense that it brought down the factory
building. It was a complete disaster. The warehouse was complete burnt. For
over 6 hours, Fire service men were combating the fire to avoid expansion to neighboring
companies.
The fire affected buildings have been restored and full
operation of the facility has commenced.
