A fire inferno has razed down 150 rooms in 50 houses as well as domestic animals and foodstuff worth millions of naira in Wuro-Korka’e village of Fufore local government area, of Adamawa State.
One of the residents of the village, Abubakar Mohammed stated that the inferno emanated from one of the households and spread quickly to other houses due to a heavy windstorm experienced in the area on the faithful day.
