Midnight fire destroys goods in Umuahia
Goods worth millions of naira were destroyed by fire in a double wholesale shop along Umuohu Okpula Ndume axis of Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road, Umuahia, Abia State on Friday.
The inferno happened just six days after midnight fire destroyed property in another shop at Abriba street by Owerri road in the same city.
Narrating her predicament to Ekwutosblog in tears, the victim of the latest fire incident, Mrs Abigail Uzodinma, said it was strange as she could not explain how her shop would go up in flames when there was no electricity supply or inflammable materials.
She said that she received a surprise phone call at midnight that her shops stocked with millions of Naira worth of goods were on fire.
Among the items gutted by fire were bags of rice, garri condiments among other valuable goods.
She said the destroyed goods were worth about 70 million Naira
Mrs Uzodinma begged the Abia State government and individuals to come to her aid to enable her pay the debt she incurred and return to business.
Ekwutosblog gathered that it was the intervention of the men of Abia State Fire Service and residents that prevented the fire from escalating to other buildings around the area.
In a related development, a 43-year-old businesswoman, Mrs Njideka Okoye has cried out that thieves stole all the 70 bags of rice in her shop located at World Bank Housing Estate in Umuahia.
Mrs Okoye, who said that the thieves broke her shop and carted away the goods at night, said that the incident happened a few days after she packed into the shop.
The victim begged for assistance from the Abia State government and individuals, even as she called for the arrest and prosecution of the thieves.

Sandra also didn’t provide evidence to back her allegations. (Check her claims in previous post).
A young woman allegedly gave birth to a baby boy and k!lled the newborn shortly after delivery in Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State.
The disturbing incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Sunday, December 14, 2025 behind Government Secondary School, Gboko, throwing the community into pandemonium and mourning.
Residents are calling for immediate police intervention to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensure justice is served.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement as of the time of this report.
TikTok influencer and livestreamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has been hospitalised following an incident in which he crashed his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz during an emotional livestream.
The incident occurred on Sunday along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos during an Instagram live session titled “RIP Peller.”
In the widely circulated video, Peller appeared visibly distressed while driving alone and was seen engaging in what appeared to be a heated phone conversation, reportedly with his girlfriend and fellow content creator, Jarvis, amid reports of a possible breakup.
During the livestream, Peller was seen crying and appearing agitated as he made several troubling remarks, including statements suggesting he might cause an accident and expressions of fear and emotional distress.
He repeatedly voiced concerns about being mocked publicly if the relationship ended and, at one point, stated that he intended to harm himself without putting others at risk.
“I will use this car and have an accident right now,” and later, “I’m scared. I’m scared.
“If you break up with me, people will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be mocking me, they will be, they will be mocking me, they will not… Thank you, I’m going to kill myself.”
Moments later, footage showed him veering off the road and colliding with a barrier, resulting in significant damage to the luxury vehicle.
Bystanders quickly assisted him at the scene, and he was rushed to a hospital.
While reports confirm he was rescued and received medical attention, details on the severity of his injuries remain unconfirmed.
The couple’s relationship has been turbulent, with previous public arguments, allegations, and reconciliations playing out online. Leaked chats suggesting another breakup have fuelled speculation that this latest dispute triggered the incident.
Social media reactions have been mixed as many expressed genuine concern over Peller’s well-being and mental health, while others questioned if the dramatic event was exaggerated or staged for attention, given his history of viral content.
Calls have emerged for authorities, including the Federal Road Safety Corps, to investigate due to the potential risks to public safety.
No official statements have been released by Peller, Jarvis, or relevant authorities. (The Nation)
