Fire razes Gombe correspondents’ chapel office, state library store
The Gombe state correspondents' chapel office, which housed the state's correspondents for major newspapers and other media, was destroyed by a night fire yesterday.

The Gombe State Library Board's storage, which housed antique books and newspapers, was also destroyed by the fire.

Examinations found that the fire originated from the first office, which the library uses to keep its discarded books and Sunday night newspapers.

Additionally, newsmen learned that the fire was put out by state fire service personnel but returned at 1:20 PM to the roof of the correspondents' chapel office, which is next to the library store.

Eyewitness account revealed that some chapel members were informed and they rushed to the scene where they were able to put it out with the collective efforts from good samaritans before fire men came for the second time to quench the remnants of the flames.

Meanwhile, the state government through the secretary to the state government Abubakar Njodi has commiserated with the journalists over the incident.

He instructed the state commissioner of information to liase with the leadership of the union to see how government could help.
