Tragedy struck the industrial town of Nnewi, Anambra State, when a shop belonging to a physically disabled person, identified as Amobichukwu Amara, was burned to the ground.
The popular store owned by Amara, named Lady Whyte Event Planner and Kitchen, located in Umudim-Nnewi, was set on fire around 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Only the store belonging to the physically disabled was razed out of a dozen stores in the same place.
No one has been able to determine exactly how the store caught fire, but some people said it might have been a power surge.
Midnight Hell was found to have completely destroyed his shop, including items such as a freezer, generator, kitchen utensils, plastic tables and chairs , one hundred and fifty cases of drinks and sundries.< /p>
The burned shop.
Amara, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, lamented that all of her investments in the store since she started operations there in 2019 have collapsed.
She said, "I don't know why I have to deserve this, there are about 10 shops in this place, but it's only mine that the night marauders chose to burn.
"Whoever did this finished me off. I had a hard time proving there is ability in disability, that's why I don't ask for alms for feed me, I instead employed a few people to help me with my business.
"The idea of whether the fire was caused by a power surge should be outdated because I use a generator, I do not use electricity, I believe that some people come to decide to punish me for only what God knows,” Amara explained.
However, the 35-year-old physically disabled lady said she did not suspect anyone as she had never had any problems with anyone.
"What can I do, I have been pushed to the limit by the perpetrators of this despicable act, I can only hope and pray that the well off people in society will stand up for my help", Amara says.
The physically handicapped lady born in Nnewi further sought support from public-minded individuals in Nnewi and Nigeria at large, saying she was left with nothing.
