The residence of a former Senate President, David Mark, in Otukpo town, Benue State has been gutted by fire.
Witnesses said the fire spread from a nearby bush bordering the fence of
the ex-senate president’s residence and bunt down two ambulance
vehicles as well as over 15 motor cycles parked in the premises.
It was gathered that domestic workers at the residence made frantic
efforts to put out the fire without much success before the arrival of
the State Fire Service in Otukpo.
One of the domestic workers, who preferred anonymity, said, “we made
every effort to quench the fire but the more we tried the more it
continued to spread. “It was when we noticed that we could not stop it
from engulfing the guest house that we called in the Fire Service.”
