Fire has reportedly razed the only hostel block used by the boarding students of the Government Girls College, Mayo-Belwa, Adamawa State.

The college had two hostel blocks but one was destroyed by fire last year. Plans were on to get it rehabilitated when the remaining one was gutted by fire Tuesday morning.


Electricity malfunctioning is suspected to be the cause of the fire, that affected over 80 students, but nobody was injured as a result of the fire incident.

Mayo-Belwa, the council headquarters where the Government Girls College is located, is in the Adamawa Southern Senatorial District, about 70 kilometres from the state capital, Yola.
