A late-afternoon fire at the Nigerian Breweries in Aba, Abia State, destroyed some goods. After the fire spread to some surrounding property near the Nigerian Railways station on Thursday, locals were perplexed as they battled to put it out.
However, the situation was brought under control when the Abia State Fire Service and other emergency services arrived and stopped the fire from destroying more properties. The Abia State administration stated that it is gathering the essential information regarding the incident, even if the source of the fire is yet unknown.
Governor Alex Ottis’ Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, issued a statement advising the residents to disregard any new video that appeared to be a live report.
“This is to inform the general public that the Abia State Emergency Services and other supporting agencies have finally successfully contained the fire outbreak that occurred at the Nigerian Breweries facility this afternoon, which also spread to other facilities within the vicinity and raged for some hours,” stated Ekeoma.
