Heartbreaking: Man Loses N50 Million As Fire Outbreak Sacks Abakaliki Rice Mill (Photos)

A fire outbreak has sacked the Abakaliki rice mill, leaving one man with an unbelievable N50 million loss.
The rice mill was sacked by fire
 
According to a Premium Times report, a fire outbreak last night, at the Abakaliki Rice Mill Company premises, located at Onuebonyi, Ebonyi State, has destroyed machinery and rice products.
 
The fire, which also affected one shop, was however put out by the Ebonyi State fire service before it could cause further havoc.
 
Though the exact cause of the fire outbreak was yet to be ascertained, some residents of the area said that the fire incident may have been caused by power surge.
 
They described the damage caused by the unfortunate incident as devastating.
 
The chairman of the Abakaliki Rice Mill Ltd, Joseph Ununu, confirmed the incident.
 
He said that the fire started at about 9 p.m. on Thursday night which attracted the attention of the leadership of the mill who were still in the office when the inferno started.
 
“I immediately contacted Ebonyi State fire service who rushed to the place and was able to put off the fire,” he said.
 
He noted that some of the valuables salvaged were as a result of his quick intervention and prompt response of the fire fighters.
 
The chairman who described the fire incident as mysterious said that the fire started from the rear of the building and took over the whole structure before it was noticed by the security men on duty who then quickly alerted the authorities.
 
“When I visited the scene, I saw about 5-black stone Rice Milling machines, bags of par boiled rice and the whole roof and interior of the building completely razed.”
 
The owner of the shop located at 13 A Line, Moses Oboh, lamented the ordeal and called on the government to come to his aid.
 
He said he may not survive the shock and the trauma of losing up to an estimated N50 million at once.
