No fewer than five houses were on Tuesday razed by fire following an outbreak behind Divine Mercy Secondary School, Zaki-Biam, in Benue State.


The inferno reportedly engulfed the residential buildings within minutes, destroying household items and other valuables estimated to be worth millions of naira.


Eyewitnesses said residents were thrown into panic as the fire spread rapidly, leaving little or no opportunity to salvage personal belongings.


Although no casualty has been reported, the cause of the fire could not be immediately ascertained as of the time of filing this report.


Meanwhile, affected residents have appealed to the state government and public-spirited individuals for assistance to cushion the impact of the loss.
