Fire Breaks Out at Governor Mbah’s Fuel Station, Arson Suspected
A fuel station owned by Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, was engulfed in flames early Friday morning, reportedly due to an attack by unidentified individuals.
The station, Pinnacle Oil, located along Agbani Road in Enugu, was the target of an arson attack carried out by assailants who arrived in a Toyota Corolla.
Eyewitnesses revealed that the fire rapidly spread, consuming at least four vehicles in the vicinity.
The inferno led to widespread panic among residents and commuters in the area.
Firefighters from both the federal and state fire services responded swiftly, managing to contain the flames before they could cause further destruction.
The Enugu State Police Command, while confirming the incident, hinted at a different possible cause for the fire.
In a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, it was suggested that the blaze may have started due to fuel leakage from one of the cars queued up to buy fuel at the station.
Although the fire caused extensive damage to the station and several vehicles, no casualties were reported.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, who was present at the scene, assured the public that a thorough investigation would be conducted.
He instructed the Deputy Commissioner of Police overseeing the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to lead the inquiry into the fire to determine its true cause and those responsible.
As a result of the incident, security operatives have barricaded the Agbani Road axis, where the station is located, to maintain order and ensure public safety.
While normalcy has been restored, the incident has raised concerns about safety and security in the area.
Residents are hopeful that the investigation will uncover the facts surrounding the fire and bring the culprits to justice.
Nigerians react as a user claims and shares that the price of rice in Nigeria is already reducing.
“Rice prices are finally dropping, minimum wage can buy a bag now. Step by step, we’re getting there. Nigeria will work in our lifetime.”

Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
