3 brothers, Stephen Omatu, 40, Casmir Omatu, 39, and Collins Omatu, 37, who passed away in the Great Nigeria Insurance House fire incident, have been buried amid tears.
The 3 brothers, Stephen Omatu, 40, Casmir Omatu, 39, and Collins Omatu, 37, it was gathered, were trapped in the building and burnt beyond recognition during the fire incident.
The GNI building was a commercial high-rise primarily used by numerous third-party tenants as a market plaza for retail and warehouse storage, specifically for items such as clothing materials, shoes, bags, and jewellery.
The inferno, which broke out just hours before Christmas Day, spread rapidly to neighbouring buildings, including a mosque and a nearby plaza, sending thick plumes of smoke into the skyline.
Burial ceremony of the brothers
It was gathered that the family held the burial ceremony for the brothers today, 14th January in Ihiala, Anambra State.
In the video shared online, family and loved ones had gathered for the somber event as they were committed to the earth.
