This online media platform gathered that some of the affected residents had traveled for the festivities while others were out for work when the fire started.

An official of the Federal Fire Service, John Nnemeka, said emergency officials arrived early but were unable to access the scene because of the nature of the houses.

However, Governor Nyesom Wike was not in the state when the incident occurred, as he was in London, United Kingdom, for a strategic meeting with some of his colleagues.
