Communication firm loses millions in an inferno
One of the terrestrial PayTv service providers, Communication Trends Limited (CTL) in Umuahia, the Abia State capital on Wednesday lost property worth millions of naira as a mysterious fire gutted their property.
The cause of the fire incident at the time of the report was yet-to-be known, but sources around the area said that it took the timely intervention of men of Abia State Fire Service to stop the fire from damaging nearby properties.
According to an eyewitness, the staff of the cable television network, in charge of the studio located in caravan was said to be absent where the fire started.
The source who is staff of a firm near the studio said he got to know of the inferno when his office generating set started jerking outside the office.
The Source said, “We were inside our office and all of a sudden our generating set started jerking and by the time we went out to check what was happening we saw smoke all over the CTL office.
“We made efforts to stop the fire with our fire extinguisher, but when we discovered that it could not quench the fire, we decided to call the men of the fire service”.
When our correspondent visited the scene of the inferno, the men of the State fire service where seen controlling the fire to ensure that it doesn’t spread to nearby buildings.
A staff of the State Fire service, identified as, Madu John said they received a distress call from their headquarters about the fire incident and raced to the scene to fight the fire.
A Police officer from the Central Police Station (CPS) Umuahia who craved anonymity said they were on ground to ensure that hoodlums do not take advantage of the inferno to loot properties of innocent people around the scene.
He confirmed that the men of the fire service who arrived the scene earlier were able to bring the fire under control.
Meanwhile the State commissioner for information Mr. John O. Kalu who visited the scene of inferno commended the men of the fire service for their timely intervention which stopped further damage to properties around the scene.
Kalu thanked God that no life was lost in the inferno, adding that he will relay the information to the state government to see ways they can assist the station to come back on air.
