After a fire broke out at the POWA Plaza, Jos road, Lafia, Nasarawa State, property worth millions of naira was destroyed.
According to information provided to our correspondent by an eyewitness, an electrical spark that occurred in one of the stores at 1 am on Tuesday morning started the fire.
Before Nasarawa State Fire Service personnel arrived to put out the fire, he claimed that the fire had destroyed the majority of the Nigeria Police Force’s property in the structure.
He said, “The fire began around 1am on Tuesday morning. It burnt properties worth millions of naira before the fire service people came.
