We Lost Over N1bn To Fire Caused By Power Surge ~ Sara Foam MD

Managing Director of Sara Foam, Mr. Mohammed Rana, a Lebanese, described the incident as devastating, particularly as it happened about a year after the demise of its owner.

This is the second time this incident is occurring; it happened two months ago and it is not clear yet what caused the last one.

According to Rana, “the fire was caused by a power surge. It has no connection with what happened last month. It just happened and a spark from the air conditioner led to all these.

“Fire service from Julius Berger arrived 30 minutes after the fire started because the roads are very bad. Several persons sustained varying degrees of injuries during the ensuing stampede.

“We have lost over a billion naira. We are calling on the state government to come to our aid and those of thousands of Nigerians because our foam is a major product in Nigeria.”

No life was lost. Report said an explosion occurred from one of the firm’s air conditioners at about 1.30p.m.
