Following the devastating fire incident that occurred and claimed the lives of three brothers at the Great Nigeria Insurance House on Martins Street, Lagos Island, on December 24, 2025, Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State has conveyed his profound condolences to the family.
In a statement signed by his Press Secretary Mr. Christian Aburime, Soludo while commiserating with all families who lost loved ones in the unfortunate inferno, regretted that the catastrophic event, which transformed what should have been a joyous Christmas Eve into a night of unspeakable tragedy, has left numerous hearts heavy with grief.
The Governor was particularly devastated by the loss of the three sons of Anambra State, namely Mr. Steve Onyeka Omatu (40), Mr. Casmir Nnabuike Omatu (39), and Mr. Collins Kenechukwu Omatu (37), brothers from the Omatu family of Uzoakwa Community in Ihiala Local Government Area.
The Governor commended the response of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), the Lagos State Fire Service, and all other emergency responders who worked tirelessly to rescue victims and contain the situation.
He advised Anambra citizens residing in Lagos and other parts of the country to always prioritise human life and personal safety over recovering property and goods in the event of a fire outbreak.
The Governor wished all affected families the strength to bear and recover from their irreplaceable losses, while praying that the souls of all the departed rest in perfect peace.
Soludo also called on relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire and ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
