Over 20 families sacked as gas cylinder explodes in Delta community [PHOTOS]

The fire incident, which occurred at about 3pm on Sunday, razed down a makeshift building housing the families, DAILY POST can report.

An eyewitness, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the cooking gas cylinder exploded when the girlfriend of one of the tenants in the compound was preparing a meal, unaware that the cylinder was leaking. Mrs. Enohor Obukevwo, a victim, said, “I don’t know how the fire started. I lost everything to the fire. Only this wrapper you see on my chest is what I came out with. Mr. Governor, please help us. Come to our rescue.”

Another victim, simply identified as Mama Israel, said, “I sweep church before I enter in the morning. Everything for house burn finish. The only thing I manage to rescue is this small bible I came back from church with.”
