On Tuesday, 24th of October 2017, Adak Uko, a street in Calabar witnessed a disaster as a 100level student of Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH), Iyang David and a nursing lost their lives.
This incident occurred as a result of a tension cable which fell on the roof of their building on Monday night.
The Landlord of the building, Mr Obo, said that the cable had always been falling in the past, but not on the roof and caused a fire that razed the building and killed the two people.
A friend of the deceased student, Mr Tolale Prince Harmony, in tears reiterated that the cable had been falling several time in the past and the PHEDC office in Calabar had been approached severally to do something about it, but they kept referring the residents to Port Harcourt.
“They keep directing the people to call Port Harcourt. I am wondering, what does Port Harcourt have to do with this? I don’t understand. During the fire, they called the fire service and they said no water, no imprests, nothing to run" he said.
