No fewer than 80 students have been displaced from their boarding houses at the Don Bosco Secondary School and Youth Centre, Obolo Obosi, near Onitsha following a fire incident. The fire destroyed the two-winged structure, beddings and the entire roof of the building worth millions of naira.
It was gathered that the officials of the fire service who were alerted would have contained the inferno, but could not access the premises on time due to bad road. Speaking after conducting news men round the debris of the inferno, the Rector of the school, Rev. Fr. Charles Uzoeto, confirmed that the property of the students could have been saved, but the fire service could not access the premises, revealing that the fire broke out while the students and teachers were in school. “After meandering through the markets with all the difficulties, before they came here, we were already counting our losses.
