Territory (FCT).
The deceased who set himself ablaze
The residents of Nyanya, a satellite town of Abuja, Federal Capital
Territory, FCT Abuja, were left in total shock in the early hours of
Thursday, after a man believed to be in his early 60s, set himself
ablaze in a rented hotel apartment.
According to DailyPost, the incident also saw the entire hotel
completely raid by fire, even as the deceased, Dr. Isaac Ojukwu, was
equally burnt beyond recognition.
While narrating the ugly incidence to newsmen in Abuja on Friday,
Sylvanus M. Itodo, the Owner of the burnt Hotel who is an Associate
Professor at the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, said it still
remained a shock, how an adult would just wish to take his own life,
without a particular known reason.
“We were all sitting together that fateful night (Wednesday
night) before he left to watch football match and I also left the hotel
premises by 11pm, to go and sleep.
The man who burnt beyond recognition
“It was around 12am that I recieved a phone call from one of
the boys in the hotel, crying, that my hotel was on fire. Before I could
get down here, the flame was everywhere; and it took the efforts of the
Federal Fire Service to prevent the inferno from escalating to the
surrounding houses,” Itodo lamented.
Investigation revealed that the deceased, who hailed from Ohuhu in
Umuahia, Abia State, had been staying in the apartment, Boundary Plaza
Hotel, Nyanya, for the past 5 years.
It was gathered that he was married to a German woman with kids,
and none of his family members, including the wife or children, had paid
him a visit all through his stay in the hotel.
An eye witness account by his direct neighbour, Ohize Yakubu, who
has been living in the hotel apartment since the day of his wedding in
2013; said, those lodging in the hotel made frantic efforts to pull the
deceased out of the building but he struggled and ran back into the
burning room.
“We went to watch Arsenal and Bayern match that night, I came
back to the hotel and Dr. Isaac came in 5 minutes later. After some
minutes, I started hearing strange sound from his room, which is
directly opposite my room. He was not shouting loud enough, all I could
hear was ‘yeh’, ‘yeh’.
“At first, I was scared to open the door, because I didn’t know
if it was a robbery attack, until I heard and recognised the voice of
one of our neighbours, beckoning on Dr. Isaac to open the door and come
out, shouting fire, fire.
“Then I asked my wife to take my son and rush out of the
building while I joined other neighbours and we forced his door open, we
met him standing in the sitting room while fire was burning in the
bedroom. He was unhurt, we then held his hands and asked him to follow
us. All of a sudden, he struggled his way from our hands and ran into
the burning room.
“At this point, everyone ran back as the inferno had started
escalating and all my belongings got burnt. My wife only escaped with my
son. I was engaged in the process of rescuing Dr. Isaac, and lost all
my belongings in the process”, Yakubu narrated.
