Fire at Accountant General's office, very fishy - Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the fire which broke out at the Treasury House in Abuja which houses the office of the Accountant General of the Federation.

MyNigeria.com reported that the Federal Fire Service and men of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) arrived at the scene soon enough to prevent the building from getting totally destroyed by the fire.

The cause of the fire which only destroyed a section is yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report.

In reaction, Reno Omokri pointed out that there is something fishy about the incident which happened despite a lockdown order in Abuja due to coronavirus.

He tweeted: “There is a CoronaVirus lockdown in Abuja and the Accountant General’s office burnt down?

“This is an office that didn’t burn when it was a beehive of activities, only to burn when it became a ghost town? What are the odds? An accident? Very fishy!”

He added: "The fire in the Accountant General’s office started a day after the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, called for an audit into the so-called subsidy regime that General Muhammadu Buhari’s government claims to have spent over ?2 trillion on? How convenient! Who is fooling who?".
