Fire Outbreak in Ekpan Roundabout

Several shops were on Friday night razed down in a fire incident along the popular Complex Road by the Ekpan Roundabout in Udumuoto, Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.

Many shop owners made fruitless efforts to salvage their goods as the fire spread from one shop to the other.

The cause of the fire was not known as of the time of filing this report but due to the intensity, it’s suspected that there must be highly inflammable materials in one of the shops.

A TRIBUTE TO PAPA DAVID
By Prof. Joe Abugu

Yes, he was christened David at birth on 18th March 1938. That’s DAS 1. A scion of the Abesan Gbegbaje family of Ekpan. He has enjoyed the grace of God for 87 solid years of great relish and accomplishments. The first Uvwie son to pass through the famous Eko Boys High School, Lagos, alumni of the Ahmadu Bello University, the first qualified professional Uvwie architect and the first to hold an M.Phil degree in Architecture in Uvwie, his life has been one of a trail blazer. His success had philanthropy and community service as collateral travellers. Patron of several Uvwie Clubs, fostering communal welfare and unity; founding vice chairman of Uvwie Action Council, founder of Ekpan Community Bank. A proud Paul Harris Rotary Fellow, one time Usiavwre of Ekpan before he became the Isirierha of Etche of Ekpan, a great historian of Uvwie affairs. We have lost a gem, we mourn an Uvwie legend, He came as a boy, played on the streets of Ekpan, took on Lagos when it was the Federal Capital territory, captured it, left his footprints, attended schools of repute, attained success and returned home to give back to his native Ekpan and Uvwie community. He lived a quiet life, savoring the best of humanity, eschewing controversy and discord, a peace maker and counsel. We miss you, DAS-1, We miss you, ISIRIERHA, We miss you, DADDY. ADIEU AND REST IN PEACE.
Prof. Joe Abugu, SAN
Obruche of Uvwie Kingdom
