Physinews:The mall after the fire
Around 12 am on Friday, December 11, a fire
started a popular shopping mall in Edo state. The mall known as
Phill-Hallmark Supermarket, in Oredo local government area of Benin was
razed completely.
Goods worth billions of naira were destroyed in
the fire. The razed supermarket houses several sections, including a
boutique, bakery, food and beverages as well as home appliances.
Firemen from the Nigerian air force and the university of Benin visited the scene and eventually put off the fire by 11.30am.
Mrs Grace one of the mall’s customer, expressed
displeasure over what she described as a poor response by the
authorities in extinguishing the fire.
She said: “I came to shop. But I am shocked
because from what Hallmark has, this is running into billions. How can a
place like Hallmark burn down like this?”
According to Punch, the Edo government has ordered
a full scale probe of the cause of the fire that gutted the only ultra
modern shopping mall in Benin.

Governor Godwin Obaseki gave the order in Benin
City on Sunday when he inspected the mall. According to the governor,
the incident happened at this time of the year is a catastrophe.
“I have asked for written report and
investigation into the cause of the fire. We will also investigate the
claim by an official of the state Fire service on the allegation of lack
of equipment.
“Because I understand that trucks were distributed by the NDDC and the State Government during the last administration”.
Also, the governor said that to avert such disasters, there would be stricter rules as regards fire extinguishers. Click

He disclosed that all efforts to get the state’s
fire service to come to their rescue proved abortive as the fire service
told him they have no diesel to work.
He said he was later able to get help from the
Nigeria Air force fire service, IDSL NPDC and UNIBEN, before the State
fire service came at about 6am.
