Woman weeps as fire razes apartment

A woman identified as Mrs Gloria reportedly burst into tears after an early fire outbreak razed down her apartment at Specialist Quarters in the new Kutunku area of Gwagwalada in Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

One of her neighbours, Mrs Rebecca Musa, said the incident happened on Wednesday, around 7:37 am after the woman had taken her children to school.

The neighbour said she was busy washing her clothes at the backyard when she saw thick smoke billowing from the woman’s apartment.

The woman said she immediately raised an alarm but most of the neighbours had already left for work.

She said she had to rush out of the compound to call some people, including passersby but that the entire apartment had already been razed before help could come.

She said, “The woman just left home and took her children to school when the fire broke. Unfortunately, before neighbours could come to assist, the fire had already razed down her apartment.”

She said the woman started crying when she returned from the school and saw what happened.

Another neighbour identified as Gabriel said he suspected that the fire outbreak might have been caused by an electrical fault, adding that the fire spread rapidly to eight other apartments.

He said, “You know the quarters and buildings were attached to each other, but that of the woman is the most affected because the fire started from her apartment which was occupied mostly by tenants.”

“In fact, the woman and her family members are now stranded. All her valuables were razed in the inferno,” he added.

The woman could not talk to our reporter when Abuja Metro visited the area.
