A fire in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Governor Kayode Fayemi, at the weekend destroyed 20 hectares of cocoa and kolanut plantations.
Its
cause could not be ascertained at press time.
A
community leader, Chief Ray Akin-Oguntosin, said the fire affected cocoa,
kolanut, orange and coffee plantations and rendered farmers jobless.
Occupants of 200
houses at Erimope- Ekiti in Moba Local Government have been rendered homeless
following a rainstorm which occurred last Friday.
The
Chairman, State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Capt. Sunday Adebomi (rtd),
described the incident as sad.
He
said: “Governor Fayemi commiserates with the victims. He is, however, happy
that nobody died.”
