Taste and Smile Restaurant, a well-known restaurant along Old Onitsha Road, Nnewi, very close to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, was yesterday, around 6:00 pm, gulped by fire.

A close source, who did not want his names on print told Anaedooline that the owner of a restaurant (name withheld), put a pot of soup on a gas cylinder, and when she was hurrying to go for evening church service, she forgot about the soup on fire; locked the shop and left.

According to the source, smoke was seen by passers-by and co-tenants when it was emitting from the shop. “Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant returned from the service early enough and saw a crowd of people gathered and smoke coming out from the shop.

“So, the shop was immediately opened and people could not see clearly inside the shop as the smoke covered everywhere.

“As of the time of filing this report, it could not be ascertained the quantity or size of property destroyed; even as the owner of the restaurant claimed that pot and cylinder were only items destroyed by the inferno.
