Government Inaction Continues: Seven Lives Lost in Kabong Fire Tragedy
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In Nigeria, we have a known habit of reacting after a tragedy strikes, particularly our government. It’s unfortunate that we often prioritize action only when something terrible occurs. A recent incident in Kabong, Gada Biyu, within the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, serves as a stark reminder of this.

Tragedy struck early on a Saturday morning when a high-tension cable connected with service wires that supplied electricity to the area, causing a fire outbreak. This resulted in the loss of at least seven lives and extensive property damage.

Kabong is a densely populated region, housing both residents and businesses. The fire ravaged commercial premises, leading to substantial losses for local shopkeepers. In one household, a devastating loss was experienced as two family members, Naomi David, aged 54, and Abraham David, aged 39, tragically perished while trying to disconnect an appliance during the incident.

The remains of the deceased have been taken to the Bingham University Teaching Hospital Mortuary, where some of the injured were also treated. Those with severe burns have been referred to the Jos University Teaching Hospital for further care.

The Jos Metropolitan Development Board has responded by sending a team to assess the extent of damage caused by the fire and to determine how to prevent such incidents in the future.

While the government is expected to offer condolences, it is essential to remember that the loss of lives cannot be undone. This event is a poignant example of a recurring issue in Nigeria, where action often lags behind until it’s too late. Welcome to Nigeria, dear reader, where such challenges persist.
