Properties destroyed as fire guts UNIBEN female hostel
There was pandemonium on Tuesday after the female postgraduate hostel in Ekehuan campus of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) was gutted by fire.
NAN reports that the fire outbreak, which started around 1 pm, destroyed some documents and properties at the university.
It is understood that no life was lost during the inferno.
NAN quoted a source as saying the fire was ignited by a surge from an electric cooker popularly known as “hot plate” being used by one of the female students.
The source added that the attention of the fire service in the state was drawn to the incident on time and its men were on ground to extinguish the fire.
The institution is yet to make an official comment on the incident.
Efforts by newsmen to reach Benedicta Ehanire, the varsity’s public relations officer, proved abortive as her phone number was not connecting.
