Now fewer than seven persons including two pregnant women and a baby were reportedly killed on Monday morning during a fire outbreak at the Bonny/Nembe/Bille Jetty in Port Harcourt.

It was gathered that more than 60 passenger boats were also burnt as the fire spread.

The fire disrupted the movement of people and goods to Bonny, Bille and Nemble.

However, this weekly is yet to get an official figure of the casualties.
