Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>One casualty has been recorded in an inferno at Bonny Bile Nembe jetty in Port Harcourt City local government area of Rivers State.<\/p>\n

The victim was said to be around one of the boats which caught fire on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The boats were believed to be carrying illegal petroleum products which resulted in the fire incident.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Special Duties, Rivers State, Emeka Onowu who has reacted to the incident said the fire started when a man who had cigarettes in his mouth was turning petroleum products into another jerrican<\/p>\n

He said \u201d the fire consumed him. We have recorded one casualty so far\u201d<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, however, said there were more casualties in the inferno.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were people inside the boats. They were mostly market people\u201d.<\/p>\n

The men of the Rivers State Fire Service who later arrived at the scene of the fire were chased away by angry youths.<\/p>\n

Confirming the report, the Commissioner said\u201d one of our fire trucks was destroyed. The Commandant called me I had to tell him to retreat\u201d<\/p>\n

An eyewitness however said, \u201d they came late when the fire was almost off . That\u2019s why they were chased away\u201d.<\/p>\n

But the Commissioner for Special Duties accused some members of the community of being complicit.<\/p>\n

He said they often fail to report the activities of the oil bunkerers to security agencies for action.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner disclosed that a committee has been set up by the state government to investigate the cause of the three separate fire incidents in the state between Saturday and Monday.<\/p>\n
