The Management of Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc (AEDC) has said that the fire incident that led to the death of a mother and her three children in a residence in Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State, was as a result of fire outbreak caused by a boiling ring and not electrical surge as reported in a section of the media( National Wire\u00a0 not included).<\/p>\n

Some online news platforms had claimed that the fire incident, which occurred in the night of Monday, 15th October, 2018, in Angwan Sarkin Hausawa area of Bosso, Minna , the State capital was sparked off by a strong electricity surge from the public power grid to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a Press statement issued on Thursday\u00a0 and made availabke to newsmen in Minna,\u00a0 the State capital,\u00a0 by Oyebode Babs Fadipe, the\u00a0 General Manager, Corporate Communications, the AEDC, Mr. Oyebode Babs Fadipe.<\/p>

The AEDC Boss stated further\u00a0 that preliminary investigations by a fact finding team dispatched to the area immediately after the incident revealed that the inferno occurred because the victims left a boiling ring ON in the sitting room of their single room apartment during an outage, adding that\u00a0 by the time power supply was restored to the area, the victims were allegedly\u00a0 apparently asleep, thereby resulting in the conflagration that engulfed the whole apartment and killed the four deceased after the boiling ring became red hot and caught fire.<\/p>\n

The statement further explained\u00a0 that the AEDC\u2019s fact finding team, which was led by Engr. Mohammed Ainoko Sule, who is also the Company\u2019s Head of Protection, Control and Maintenance, stated that the incident had nothing to do with a power surge, as it was being errorneously speculated in some quarters .<\/p>\n

While also commiserating with the family of the deceased and other members of the Bosso community, the AEDC\u2019s Director of Risk, Mr. Collins Chabuka seized\u00a0 the opportunity to appeal to members of the media to always cross check their facts before publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
