Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area in Delta State, Dr. Michael E. Tidi, has insisted on the profiling of occupants of Arewa settlement (Hausa Quarters) in Ubeji, Warri, saying his administration is determined to know the kind of businesses the occupants do in the make-shift structures.

Dr. Tidi, made the declaration, Wednesday July 14, when he dashed to the settlement for an on- the-spot assessment of the damage caused by fire that allegedly broke-out at about 4.00am same day.

It was gathered that the quick intervention of some residents in the area, prevented the blaze from spreading to a nearby school, residential houses.

The Warri South Local Government Boss, who empathized with the victims in an interview with newsmen, called on the owner of the land to meet with him.
