Fire destroys Afaglo’s home …says panties, everything burnt

Actress Beverly Afaglo is counting her losses after fire razed down her house in Tema on Monday, August 9, destroying property worth millions of cedis.

Although no lives were lost, Beverly who is married to Eugene Baah popularly known as Choirmaster, a member of Hiplife group Praye, has lamented losing everything she has ever labored for in her entire life.

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM yesterday morning, she said the fire raged for about four hours and she had lost everything, except the clothes she had on her body at the time of the fire, adding that she does not know where to start from.

“My mom has a garden at the back of the house. I mean a woman who is in her old age, she is always bored and she wants to do garden stuff. So she always goes to the farm, that’s what she calls it. On Monday she went to do her regular farming and gathered some weeds to burn. According to her the fire had gone down and so she left it to go and relax,

“My mother was traumatized, she couldn’t leave the house. She hasn’t been able to eat. She feels very sorry for the situation. We don’t want to talk too much about it because this is something that we always tell her to stop burning but she always says after burning she will make sure the fire is off. Our concern was with smoke not fire” she said.

“I was just standing there crying because everything was going. I couldn’t take anything, not even my passport. Nothing. How I went out in my slippers. It wasn’t like I was even going out for a function that I will say I was dressed. I was just wearing a T-Shirt and leggings with my handbag, sunglasses and my face mask. That was all. Everything was gone”.

She said she is currently staying at her sister’s place to plan her next move.

Asked how people can support her, she said “I don’t know ooo. I don’t even have panties to wear. So anything is welcomed. I need to start building again. I need to get a place to stay. Yes I am staying at my sister’s house, yes we all have rooms I’m comfortable but there is nothing like you having your own place”.
