More than 300 people were rendered homeless by a explosive fire outbreak in Ekeki Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State

The explosive fire out break occurred at about 2a.m midnight. The fire outbreak left no valuables untouched as valuables and properties where destroyed in the fire accident.

Those affected by the fire outbreak in the area could not hold back their tears as they watch the fire spreading beyond control on their valuables.

Though valuables were lost, no death was recorded. One of the affected resident said he suspected that the fire outbreak was caused by a candle light as there was no electricity supply.

He said firemen who arrived at the scene of the accident,could only prevent the fire from spreading to the Ekeki Police Station.

" the outbreak occurred very early this morning at about 2.am. Our efforts to prevent the fire from spreading are futile as we could only run for our lives and stare as our hard earn properties are been destroyed by the fire. The fire fighters could only stop the fire from spreading to the police station, if not, it could have been affected too.

"For now we're not 100%  sure if it was the candle light that caused the fire outbreak or not. But smoke was coming out from one of the apartment in the building, a woman saw the smoke, but she kept quiet, now this is what it has resulted to.

Over 300 of us live here. One of us lost N300,000 to this fire,everything got burnt," he said.

The police are still investigating,to know the cause of the fire.
