Photos: Union Bank building in Abuja gutted by fire

Union Bank building in U.T.C Area 10 in Abuja was gutted by fire this evening, The last floor of the 3-storey building was completely razed and the popular Abuja furniture store, Hadar Situare was also affected in the fire. Millions of Naira worth of furniture was destroyed.

The fire was eventually put out by the combined team work of the Airforce fire fighters & the Federal Fire Fighters. It took seventeen trucks of water to put the fire out. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. See more photos after the cut...

As far as am concern, this is jst the beginning. God will punish all of them, stil waiting for other banks that descriminates, those that believs in who u knw and those enslaving the HND holders. Soon the lords judgement will be upon u all.am happy. Others wait, na turn by turn

Stupid bank that just swallowed my money without battling an eye,I was just managing the little money I had and begging even in tears for this people to refund my money that their bank debited through a faulty ATM transaction. They played me for a year plus despite all the form filling and come today come today. I swear God's wrath will surely visit them, useless bank. Mitscheeew!
