Another resident lamented that despite the proximity of the fire service no help was rendered in quenching the fire.
Peelinks electronic world limited, located along Muritala Muhammed way, close to GT Bank Junction, Lokoja, is the biggest electronic plaza in Kogis State and serves the need of both government and individuals.
Recall that on Wednesday, 23 people were burnt to death in Kogi State after a tanker fire. It lead to the Kogi government declaring two days of mourning for those who lost their lives in the tragedy.
