He said it was the first time it fell on his roof and caused a fire that razed the building and killed the two.

He revealed that the building had 12 tenants and since the incident occurred, they have not been visited by anyone from the fire service or the Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHEDC).

Mr Tolale Prince Harmony, one of the friends of late Inyang, confirmed that the cable had fell several times and the PHEDC office in Calabar had been contacted severally to do something about it, but they kept asking the residents to contact Port Harcourt.

“They keep directing the people to call Port Harcourt. I am wondering, what does Port Harcourt have to do with this? I don’t understand. During the fire, they called the fire service and they said no water, no imprest, nothing to run.

I don’t understand this. The cable fell on the building and caused a fire that killed Inyang David and killed another lady, who just gave birth, and did child dedication just two Sundays ago.”
