Ogoni quarters, place down the slope in Rivers State, dominated by ogoni and calabar people living in thatched houses, was razed down by fire today.
The fire which first started in one of the resident’s house, affected other buildings in the area as
Rivers State fire service came late to the scene of the incident.

“Wetin person no know big pass am.
Few minutes ago I saw a post on Ozenia’s wall that her neighbor’s house is on fire I said to myself let me go and find out what’s happening cos its my street.
I went out and was shocked to see black smoke everywhere . I inquired and was told that it was ogoni quarter ( a place down the slope dominated by ogoni and calabar people living in Batcha houses). By the time I got there fire don burn down the place. So sad.
I heard there that they called Rivers State fire service but were told different stories. Don’t know how they did it but help came from total fire service very late tho.”
