Fire has razed the House of the Chairman of the Kaduna Peace Commission, Archibisop Josiah Idowu-Fearon, in Kaduna.
The duplex, which also houses the Centre for Christianity and Islamic Study, with property worth millions of naira, was razed by the inferno.
According to an eyewitness, the inferno was caused by a worker in one of the houses close to Bishop Fearon’s house, who engaged in bush burning who refused to listen to warnings from people around.

When contacted on phone for his reaction, he simply said: “Your love and concern are appreciated. May the Lord bless you. You know these uneducated people around us; what does one do other than just warn and leave them to God.
“My library had between 6,500 and 7,000 volumes with almost half on Islamic books and a good number out of print.
“God saved the ground floor as an evidence that God approves of our centre, bringing Muslim and Christian leaders to study and share their faith with one another. We give all the glory to God,” he said.
