Mysterious fire razes100 houses in Bauchi

Bauchi—About 100 houses have been burnt in Soro town
in Ganjuwa Local Government Area of Bauchi State,
following the outbreak of a mysterious fire.
Acting District Head of Soro, Alhaji Muhammad
Kilishi, who disclosed this in an interview with
Vanguard in Bauchi, said residents in the local
government were yet to know the cause of the fire.
Kilishi said: “This fire is quite mysterious because it was
not caused by an electrical fault or bush burning. We
just noticed that fire from nowhere started burning and
before we knew it, it had started destroying houses.
“This incident started mysteriously about a month ago,
but no life has been lost since the outbreak. I do not
know the meaning of this strange fire which cannot be
tied to a cause.
“Maybe it is a spiritual attack or something else; I
cannot say for now. It is just that it is quite abnormal
for a fire to appear from nowhere and start destroying
property in the communities.”
The district head said though no loss of life was
recorded in the fire, property worth millions of Naira
were destroyed.
He thanked the State Emergency Management Agency,
SEMA, for rendering assistance to the victims of the
mysterious fire and urged other government agencies
and non-governmental organizations to come to the aid
of the victims.
