Fire guts Power City Int’l

Dr. Damina

Fire gutted a section of Power City Int’l, arguably the biggest church edifice in Akwa Ibom State on Sunday. Connoisseur.com learnt that the fire started from the office of the senior pastor, Dr. Abel Damina, at about some minutes to 12 O’clock with the 2^nd service just few minutes of being ended.

But on sighting smoke from the office of the pastor, the choristers had to take to their heels and every other person, including Dr. Damina, Mr. Umanah Okon Umanah (secretary to Akwa Ibom State government), and Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem (Commissioner for Housing and Urban Renewal followed suit.

Connoisseur.com learnt from a worshipper from the church that the Hummer Jeep of Dr. Damina was whisked to safety while men of the state Fire Service rushed to the scene to put off the fire.

A visit by Connoisseur.com confirmed the report. The main church auditorium was barely gutted but that could not be said of Damina’s office as the fire destroyed a greater part of it. The cause of the fire outbreak was not known as at the time of typing this report.
