Legit.ng spoke with the young lady whose story recently grabbed people's attention to get more information about the sad incident.
When asked what exact equipment got damaged or burnt in her room, she explained:
"Everything in my room was damaged except my kitchen and bathroom. Every other thing: my bed, my curtains. I have a clothing brand, and I lost a lot of items for my brand. A lot of customers' goods that they stockpiled, a few of my goods (I had just little left because I had just finished a trade fair programme in my school), two clothing racks, one I had just gotten a few days before the fire incident, over 50 clothing hangers, my flower stand and vase, my standing fan, a few of my bags and clothes, a few of my roommate’s clothes and bags too, my branded nylon, my packaging bags where I keep my goods, and so much more that I can’t think of right now."
On whether any individual or hostel management was able to salvage or prevent damage to some items in her room, she responded:
"My roommate did. She was able to recover a few of our things, like our bed, my table and chairs, and some other things. I wasn't around and my roommate went to the market. My neighbours didn't notice immediately the fire started; they noticed when the whole thing had already burned down."
"It was almost at the time my roommate came back from the market that they noticed. So immediately she got back, she opened the door and they were able to stop the fire and recover some other things."
Also, she spoke about getting help from the hostel management after the unexpected incident, confirming that she received support and a promise to fix some things in the room.
"Yes, I have. The hostel management have been sympathetic with me and promised to assist with painting the room and ceiling because the entire room is completely dark. But they haven't gotten anything done. I reminded them a few days back and the manager said he's waiting for the landlord to disburse money. So I can't do anything for now other than wait."
