Fire raises Vanguard reporter’s family house


 

 A strange fire has gutted the home of Mrs Owaa Adonu, widow and mother of Enugu reporter of the Vanguard Newspapers, Chinedu Adonu.

The cause of the inferno, which engulfed the 3-bedroom bungalow and destroyed everything inside it is yet unknown.

The incident which took place at Amufie community, in Igbo-Eze North local government area of Enugu state, struck at about 10:30 pm, on January 30, 2010, when Mrs Adonu and one of her daughters, a nurse, had  gone to bed and were fast asleep.

Reacting to the incident, the septuagenarian said  but for her daughter’s alertness, the fire would have consumed them as it claimed all her wrappers and other clothes, and two motorcycles among others.

While thanking neighbours and other villagers who came  to rescue them, she called on various governments and spirited individual to help her and her family to restart life all-over.
