Fire razes bar, brothel in Rivers
Early morning fire has razed a bar and a brothel in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The cooking activities of a food vendor stationed within the premises reportedly ignited the fire that caused the havoc.A source said that 20 rooms in the brothel and valuables worth millions of naira were destroyed by the fire. He said: “The fire started at a small food vendor’s place, where a woman sells food in front of the brothel at about 8am. The oil she was using caught fire and exploded, while people were trying to extinguish it, the fire spread to the building.“Youths in the area tried to put out the fire to no avail. Many calls to the state fire service were not answered for over three hours, until the fire consumed everything.
He said: “We struggled with the fire for more than three hours to put it out but were unable. We used buckets of water, sachet water and every other method we know but could not put it out, at point we all became tired.
