She said, “This is to react to the purported story making the roundabout a fire outbreak in Veritas University Abuja.
“Here is the truth. Five make-shift shops within the university campus were affected in a fire-out break at about 1 am today, Saturday, 5th February 2022.
“Those shops are mostly kitchens operated by food vendors within the university. The extent of the damage is yet to be ascertained.
“The makeshifts are on the way that leads to the boy’s hostel, and among the shops affected is one that belongs to a bean cake seller.
“The person who fries Akara (bean cake) did not put off the fire properly and then took the wood into the shop, and that resulted in the raze. No casualty recorded so far. “
Obekpa stated that they contacted the Federal Fire Service immediately after the fire was discovered, adding that the Service swiftly intervened.
The Federal Fire Service Public Relations Officer, Abraham Paul when contacted, confirmed the incident, adding that the cause of the fire could not be immediately ascertained.
