that razed the market, with goods worth millions of naira destroyed in the inferno that lasted several hours before it was put out by the fire service.

It was gathered that men of the Edo State fire service were chased away by angry youths and traders when they were coming with one truck at about 12:30p.m. The youths said the Edo Fire Service did not respond to their distress call claiming there was no water but rushed to the scene when they learnt fire was spreading to a new shopping mall and the EDPA building.

One trader who gave her name as Idowu said she lost many goats and other animals that were rescued to the hoodlums before fire got to her shop. Another trader said a bus driver fled with bags of rice he wanted to convoy to a safe location.
