It was tragedy yesterday, my wife's frozen foods and food stuff shop was gutted by fire. The sale girl had just closed and locked up the shop in about 8pm and not long after my wife received a call to bring the shop key, that her shop was on fire. Infact before she could get there, much damage has been done. Thanks to Neigbour around the who forced their way inside by pulling down the burglar, the door and parts of the wall and ceiling, the fire would have spread to the entire building. According to the rescuers, the fire was triggered off when the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company suddenly restored power to the area and suddenly there were series of scary sparkling, with thundering sounds from the power lines on about two of the poles close my wife's shop. We lost almost every thing in shop to the fire; my wife is in trauma and am contemplating on suing the power company for negligence for the surge that triggered off the fire which razed down the shop. Please, I need the advice of legal minds, as well as experience minds to let me know sustainable a legal approach would be.

I advise you don't, you will only end up embarrassing yourself and might be unlucky to be counter sued.

Please, make your position clearer.

It will be difficult to prove your case that the cause of the fire was not due to your own negligence as your shop apparently was the only shop or place affected by the power surge.

Take a cab to any law agency in your vicinity.

I believe a one on one conversation with a professional lawyer will suit you best. Take heart. Sorry for ya loss.
