Property worth millions of naira destroyed as fire razes hotel in Anambra 

Fire has razed Soprom Hotel in Onitsha, Anambra state, destroying property worth millions of naira. 

Tochukwu Ikenga, the state police public relations officer (PPRO), confirmed the incident on Monday.

Ikenga said the fire started around 4:30 am and that the force immediately deployed its operatives to the scene to maintain law and order.

“We got the information at about 4:30 a.m. and our men were quickly deployed to the scene to cordon off the area,” he said.

“We don’t want the situation where people will take advantage of the fire incident to steal properties and other valuables.

“The situation is under control; we are happy that no life was lost, our men are still there, the fire service operatives are also there.”

In March, a two-storey building housing the Onitsha main market police station and shops selling lace fabrics was razed by fire.
