The Abuja House on the Rock Church building, which is worth N3bn, on Sunday went up in flames due to some unknown reasons.
Some firefighters came to the scene to curtail the fire. No casualties were recorded as worshipers had gone home when the fire broke out.
Rev. Kennedy Asigime, a cleric at the church complained that the fire-fighters came with “the same ladder used by Electric Distribution Companies,” with no water.
“The most unfortunate thing is the fact that we have a fire service that is not properly equipped to help in such situations", he complained.
“We have no idea what caused the fire, whether it is an electrical fault or not, nobody knows for now.
“This whole building cost about N3 billion and a very substantial part of the building has been totally destroyed.
“We cannot be sure of what is left standing now, we need to do an integrity test to know if the whole building is going to be knocked down,’’ Asigime said.
“They were just here because they want to put it on record that they responded to the call; but they got here and said they did not have water. Until trucks from the private sector started coming, trucks from Julius Berger and NNPC, may God help us in this country,’’ he added.
