Fire guts Samsung plaza in Abuja

A fire incident occurred last night at the well-known ‘Samsung Plaza’ located near Banex Junction in the Wuse 2 area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The exact origin of the fire, which began around 8 pm, remains uncertain.

As the inferno raged, onlookers and workers rushed to salvage their belongings, while security personnel and firefighters worked diligently to combat the blaze.

Reports indicate that individuals attempting to steal from the burning plaza clashed with security officers and initial responders at the scene.

Nkechi Isa, the Public Relations Officer of the FCT Emergency Management Agency, confirmed the incident via a telephone conversation. She strongly condemned the actions of delinquents who attacked the first responders while looting the premises.

Isa stated, “Hoodlums attacked the Federal Fire Service personnel who were dispatched to extinguish the fire, prompting them to request assistance from the Police and NSCDC.”
