A Monday early morning fire disaster at the residence of a Damaturu based renowned farmer, Engr. Samaila Adamu, destroyed grains and apartments worth millions of naira.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the fire outbreak was caused by burning sesame stalks in the house which is located at 3-Bedroom Housing Estate, Gujba road, Damaturu, led to the destruction of four rooms, about one hundred bags of grains, vehicle spare parts as well many bags of fertilizers, among other valuables.

They said efforts by people from the neighbourhood could not stop the raging fire as it continued uncontrollably until the arrival of trucks belonging to the State Fire Service and Yobe State University.

Though not his family house, the victim of the fire disaster, Adamu said the house is where he stores animal feeds as he is a farmer who also breeds livestock.

He described the incident “as an act from God”.

One of the fire fighters, Adamu Suleiman, who assisted in putting out the inferno, said even with their timely intervention so much damages have been recorded.
