YUSUF MUHAMMED

The major victim of the pipeline inferno in the early hours of 19th December, 2018, at Abule-Egba/Abule-Taylor in Ifako-Ijaiye area of Lagos, is crying for help and support from good Nigerians.

The fire incidence which was due to the horrible activities of some pipeline vandals, resulting to spillage of PMS through drainages within the surroundings of a car mart, engulfed over 16 exotic vehicles of different makes and models, including the collapse of the office space together with the equipment and machineries installed in the car mart.

Mr. James Adeosun, who is the owner of Pillar Automobile, the said Car Mart beside JustRite Mall at Samar Petroleum Filling Station Abule-Egba Junction, Lagos, debunked the story in the media space that he was dead.

In his interview with our correspondents, Adeosun said that he is still alive but struggling to survive since the unfortunate incident. He explained that although it was true that he collapsed upon knowledge of the inferno and was hospitalized at different hospitals for several months but he is alive battling with indebtedness from his clients and banks.

According to him, “The fire destroyed everything! I lost several millions of Naira and seriously indebted to many business partners and clients who trade with me because I don’t own all the damages vehicles, several properties and documents destroyed in my office. Although the grace of God is there but living has been very difficult for me since that incident because it sent me out of business and as a family man it was a big calamity on my family.

Emotions could not be held when he showed pictures, previous media interviews reports on the incident and official acknowledgement of Letters of Appeal for help written through his lawyers – Okenile Legal Services to NNPC, NEMA, Lagos State Government, LASEMA and other personalities but no help whatsoever came his way yet. In a depressed mood, he is calling on good Nigerians to help him back to life and business as the yoke is too big for him.

He implored the good people of Nigeria to contact him to help or his Solicitors at their office or on telephone via +2348028305666.
