Fire guts electronic shop, destroys goods worth millions in Port Harcourt

A fire has reportedly destroyed valuable properties worth millions of Naira on Sunday afternoon in the East-West Road area of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports.

TNG learnt that the storey building used by LG as a showroom and warehouse at Rumuosi Junction went up in flames after a power surge, leaving residents in disarray as they struggled to put out the inferno.

It was gathered that the incident happened at about 12:30 pm on Sunday afternoon, and the residents were said to have put out the raving fire at the time of filing this report.

The building is reportedly sandwiched between a church and another storey, which residents feared would have caused a chain reaction if they did not rally around as there were no presence of firefighters nor security agencies to guard against loot.
