The Labour Party has called the government to investigate the cause of the fire incident that gutted the residence of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero.
The fire, according to reports, started from the roof before it exploded into a huge ball of fire as family members of the union leader scampered to safety.
In a statement issued by the LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, the party urged the government to leave no stone unturned until it discovered the cause of the fire.
He stated, “We urge the government to carry out a proper investigation on the incident with a genuine mindset to find out the cause of the mysterious fire which happened at a time Comrade Ajaero was attending a conference outside the country in the service of fatherland.
“The Fire Service must be encouraged to live up to its duties. Prompt response to fire incidences can save life, property and prevent pains associated with such loss.”
