Senator Eteng Williams Sympathizes with the Victims of the Ikom Fire Incident

The Senator representing Cross River Central Senatorial District, Distinguished Senator Eteng Jonah Williams, has commiserated with the victims of the sudden fire outbreak at a private residence on Thursday, 13th of July in Ikom Local Government Area
Senator Williams in a statement issued by his Media office described the fire incident as worrisome and sympathized with those whose houses, shops/stores, and wares got burnt in the unfortunate incident.
The cause of the fire outbreak is yet to be known but eyewitness reports have it that the flames came out from one of the apartments, and spread wildly, giving the occupants little or no time to salvage their belongings.
“Over the weekend, I got a sad call on the sudden fire outbreak that razed down 48 room and parlour apartments located at Obudu Road, 4 Corners in Ikom Local Government Area.
“ I commiserate with the victims in particular those whose shelter and source of livelihood has been directly affected by the fire outbreak.
“I understand the physical and emotional trauma this would have caused those affected, hence, in the coming days I will be making interventions to assuage the plights of all those who are affected.
“Also, in the cause of my investigation, I learned that the Ikom Fire Service Station has no functional firefighting Vehicle and as such is handicapped in situations like this.
As Senator Representing Central Senatorial District, I will be engaging with all stakeholders and Government agencies including the State Fire Service to provide functional equipment to forestall future occurrences.” He said.
