The National President of Nigeria Appropriation Development Initiative (NADI), Kashim Bello, has accused the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria(FMBN) Managing Director, Ahmed Dangiwa Musa for being responsible for the fire outbreak at its Headquarters on Wednesday.

Bello who said the inferno deliberate to burn sensitive documents, called for critical investigation.

 Recalled that the headquarters of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria located in Abuja was gutted by fire.

A source at the bank who pleaded not to be named, told journalists in Abuja,on Thursday, that the fire lasted for two hours before it was put out by 1am.

The official said, “as a result of the fire incident, those from the position of Senior Managers and below were asked to go home on Thursday morning until Monday, when they will be informed on the new date of their resumption.”

However, a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Thursday, by the president of NADI, said  the management was responsible of the fire outbreak that gutted the headquarters of FMBN.

“According to our reports, the fire outbreak had destroyed several sensitive documents especially in the office of the SA to the Managing Director, Arch. Ahmed Dangiwa Musa and extended to the Board Room before the fire was put out.

“The curious question is why would such outbreak occur in the most sensitive departments and offices at FMBN Headquarter?

“The fire incident is coming at a time when the bank is awaiting approval from the Ministry of Works to implement a retirement plan in a bid to stay afloat, thereby extending their stay in office.”
