A fire incident was reported at the Otukpo residence of former Senate President, Senator David Mark in Benue state.
The fire incident which was confirmed by Dr. Adakole Elijah on behalf of Senator Mark burnt some properties including 15 motorcycles and two vehicles.
He added that the arrival of the Fire Service personnel prevented the inferno from spreading to the entire building, adding that the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
One of the domestic workers, who preferred anonymity, said, “we made every effort to quench the fire but the more we tried the more it continued to spread.
“It was when we noticed that we could not stop it from engulfing the guest house that we called in the Fire Service.”
At the time of this report, however, none of the family members has yet commented on the matter even as it was learnt that Mark himself was away from home.
