Fire, on Wednesday morning, gutted the Abuja residence of the Labour Party (LP) National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said that the fire started a few minutes after 1:00am, when Abure and members of his family were still asleep.
He said: “The entire family was trapped as the inferno had reached the staircase making it impossible for Abure and family to escape.
“However, it took divine intervention for the national chairman and his family to escape after neighbours and security men gallantly pulled down one of the windows upstairs making way for the family to escape.
“Men of the Fire Service arrived shortly after Abure and his family were evacuated.
“Abure and his family were rushed to a private hospital where they are presently receiving treatment. Their condition is however stable.”
