Fire guts accounts section of Ebonyi Govt House

Dr Kenneth Ugbala, Senior Special Assistant to Gov David Umahi on Internal Security, told NAN that it took the combined efforts of workers and the State Fire Service to put out the fire.

"An upholstery and cottons within the section were completely burnt and we would ascertain the true extent of damage when the fire service concludes its task,'' he said.

"The shouts for help attracted workers who used improvised items such as water and detergent to put out the fire before the arrival of firemen," she said.
