Fire destroys Imoro Egala's house
Tamale, March 19, GNA - Alhaji Mustapha Ali Idris, Northern
Regional Minister, has consoled the family of the late
Alhaji Imoro Egala, a Minister in the First Republic, whose
house and property valued at millions of cedis, were
destroyed by fire in Tamale on Monday.
Alhaji Idris also pledged his support to restore every
property destroyed to mitigate the plight of the family.
He said: "This is a renowned family whose predicament should
not be borne by only the family members but by the whole
Northern Region".
The Minister had visited the family at Changli, a suburb of
Tamale, to console the family and to ascertain the extent of
damage caused by the fire sparked off by a candle flame.
Alhaji Mustapha also promised to accommodate the family
members if they faced any accommodation problem until the
house was rebuilt.
Mrs. Mary Egala, the 53-year-old landlady of the house who
briefed the GNA about the incident, said at about 0330 hours
on Saturday, the household woke up to see the house on fire.
Mrs Egala commended the Regional Fire Service and her
neighbours who acted promptly to prevent the fire from
spreading to nearby houses.
