Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A massive fire engulfed three homes in the New GRA neighborhood of Gombe State on Wednesday, leaving families homeless and causing property losses worth millions of naira.<\/p>\n

The affected residents expressed their distress, stating they were unable to save any of their belongings and are now in dire need of urgent assistance to recover from the disaster.<\/p>\n

One of the victims, Malama Sakina, tearfully said, \u201cWe lost everything. No one helped us when the fire broke out. We need assistance, especially from the government and humanitarian organizations, to rebuild our lives. Everyone knows how tough times are now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another victim, Yakubu Baba Gombe, criticized the slow response of the fire service, saying, \u201cBy the time they arrived, everything had already been burned.<\/p>\n

Authorities have yet to determine the cause of the fire, and affected families are left without shelter, food, or essential household items.<\/p>\n

Local residents are urging the government to investigate the incident and take preventive measures to avoid similar occurrences in the future.<\/p>\n

The state fire service is yet to make comments regarding the incident.<\/p>\n
