FIRE RAZES HOME OF AFAN CHIEFTAIN -By Jacob Aguomba.

The country home of Abia state chairman of All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Chief Donlop Okoro at Isikwuato was raised by fire inferno Monday last week.
Speaking to Food-Farm News in Umuahia, the AFAN chieftain said the cause of the fire disaster cannot be immediately ascertained.  

“The fire was first noticed with thick smoke coming from the room of my cousin who lived with us in the same house. At this crucial moment we could not gain access to his room as he had locked it up and gone off to work. And within a few minutes, the fire had engulfed the whole building. So, in a few moments, almost within a twinkle of an eye, the whole of a lifetime household acquisitions was erased, consumed by fire”. Chief Okoro said.

Chief Donlop Okoro and members of his family has been inundated with phone calls and text messages from all over the country and abroad by friends, relations and other sympathetic and concerned individuals, farmers and commodity organizations as well as corporate citizens.
Asked how he has coped with the situation so far, Chief Okoro retorted Oh, well it has been quite a stretch for me and the entire household you know. And this is coming at a festive period such as the yuletide season. It has actually been stressful for the whole family but God is surely in control”
