On that day, February the 2nd, 2015, four girls suffered unimaginable loss in Okpara hostel. The fire started at about 12:15pm. This particular event attracted innumerable crowd to the spot where some good hearted gentlemen took it upon them selves to quench the fire. By the time this activity was over, the room has been converted to a place similar to a village kitchen. The fire service arrived about 20-30 minutes after the fire outbreak was discovered. Though their arrival depended on the time they were called.
       Eyewitnesses believed the fire was caused by some gas cooker in the room, whereas some countered that it was due to an electric spark. Whatever it is wrecked great havoc on the girls. There is no point pointing fingers at the cause of the fire, the main  point is how to help the now homless girls judging from the way girls behave and the fact that there is scarcity of room spaces.
