A father of 6 identified as Uwekwe Solomon, has been thrown into extreme grief in Rumuochakara, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, as his three children lost their lives during a fire incident which occurred on Monday night.

The fire was said to have been caused by a candle, which spread and razed 2 other buildings in the area, but father of the deceased children denied having a candle in his house.

According to reports Mr Solomon, stated that his three other surviving children who were rescued from the inferno are now in critical condition, as they suffered up to 90 percent degrees burnt, saying he has no idea of what caused the fire as they had retired to sleep.

The traumatized man in his words said, “Yesterday as we slept, what I heard was my wife shouting fire, fire, like a dream, I rushed, passed through the fire to try to rescue my children.

“But I was able to rescue three, then I lost three as a result of the fire. I slept around past eight. And this thing happened between 9 and 10 pm.

“There is no candle in my house. I don’t know how the fire came about. I felt like dying with them (children). I wanted to run into a moving car, but my neighbors held me.”

The father of the deceased also said one of the children who died in the inferno was his niece who came for the holiday and decided to stay back and start school in Port Harcourt, saying he had just registered her as a student as the new academic session began.

“One of them is my sister’s child that came on holiday and decided to stay with me and she wanted to start school here in Port Harcourt. So, we registered her on Monday. That same Monday, September 26, this thing happened,” he explained while holding back tears.

When contacted, the spokesperson of the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said she is yet to get details of the incident as of the time of filing this report.

The Rivers State Police Command has said no fewer than 10 suspected members of the disbanded Indigenous People of Biafra and seven fake members of the civilian Joint Taskforce in various parts of the state have been arrested.

This was made known to the public by the State Commissioner of Police, Okon Effiong, during a meeting with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Friday.

Effiong stated that the arrests were made when officers raided their hideouts after the command acted on credible intelligence.

He said the suspected IPOB members were arrested in Oyigbo on the outskirts of Port Harcourt, while the arms-bearing fake civilian JTF members were nabbed in Omoku and Ahoada, both in Rivers State.

The CP said, “On December 23, 2022, we received information that some IPOB members have started relocating to Rivers State.

“We had to work on that intelligence and we discovered where they stay in an estate in Oyigbo. The building they stay in the estate was raided and ten of them were arrested.

“Interestingly, four of them arrested were identified as the key players in the burning down of the Oyigbo Police Station during the #EndSARS riot.

“And one of them has been on the wanted list of the police since February this year.”

Continuing he said, “We are still working on them and as we receive information we shall act on it immediately.”

CP Effiong disclosed the fake civilian JTF had gone to the Northeast for training in arms handling and had come to Rivers to recruit members when they were arrested.

He said, “We just have to be very careful and sensitive. Information was received that a group of persons were training in arms handling.

“And we discovered that the people had gone for the so-called training from the Northeast and had come down to Port Harcourt to recruit people. And they said they were civilian JTF.

“When their camp was searched eventually about four locally made AK 47 rifles were recovered with some ammunition.

“The intriguing thing is that we recovered many camouflage uniforms. If anybody saw them they will think they are policemen.

“In the course of our investigation, we discovered that they had already opened up cells in Ahoada and Omoku.

“We have gone to Omoku, we have raided those cells and we have arrested seven of them.”

While assuring that the command would ensure that the state remains unsafe for criminal elements, Effiong solicited the support of members of the public to assist the police with relevant information that would aid the arrest of suspects.
