Fire Guts Residence of Anglican Archbishop in Kaduna

The country home of the Kaduna Secretary-General of the Anglican Communion Worldwide, Archbishop Idowu-Fearon, was razed by fire earlier today.

The Anglican Communion Worldwide is based in London.
Idowu-Fearon is also the Chairman of the Kaduna Peace Commission.
Our correspondent who could not immediately ascertain when the incident occurred, was on Tuesday told that the four-bedroom duplex which also housed the Centre for Christianity and Islamic Study were razed.

Property estimated in millions of naira were destroyed.
An eye witness said the inferno was caused by a worker of one of the neighbors of the cleric who engaged in bush burning.
“The man (name withheld) was warned not to carry out the bush burning but all the warning fell on deaf ears until the unexpected happened,” the eyewitness said.
Another eye witness, Hadiza Haruna, who is the Bishop’s home help said all efforts by the fire servicemen who came with about five trucks to put out the fire, yielded no results.
