An 80-year-old woman has been burnt to death in a fire incident which reportedly razed 50 houses in Tse-Agubor Gyaruwa of Tsambee-Mbesev Council Ward in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State.
The head of the affected village, Chief Ayatse Agubor, told journalists in Makurdi that the fire started at about 10am today when the villagers were already on their various farms.
He said his octogenarian mother who was killed in the fire could not get anyone to help her out of the sickbed because people were not at home.
Agubor attributed the fire to unauthorised bush burning, warning youths of the community to desist from the act or face the wrath of the law
