Top Star Hotel in Bamenda goes on inferno

Monday 5 June, 2017 in Bamenda witnessed a raging inferno on the first floor of the Famous Top Star Hotel situated in Nkwen.

This incident took place at 4pm on the first floor of the building with is the bakery department. Rumors goes it was a premeditated act as the hotel had been functional during the ghost town strike but the Commissioner has dismissed the claims saying it was as a result of gas leakage. The workers were baking bread meant for today’s consumption when they noticed a section of the bakery already engulfed in the raging flames and all they could was to escaped with their lives for safety.

The police were deployed to the area to prevent the public from looting since it is obvious that on this situation, people come to help but others have bad intentions as they carry things out of the house not to a safe place but away to sell or keep for personal use.

This is just one of the fire incidents in Bamenda as schools, markets and even shops have been burned down by unidentified men because of the Anglophone Crisis going on in the country.
