Four persons yesterday feared dead while 12 others sustained varying degrees of injuries in an explosion that rocked Onitsha Chemical Market in Anambra State.
The explosion occurred at about 12:45p.m. in the market, which led to a stampede, and later fire. A source said the four deaths were as a result of stampede as traders scampered for safety. “Also, the council chairman contacted the DPO of Fegge Police Station, Rabiu Garuba, who deployed officers and men to the market to guarantee security of goods and other property belonging to the traders.”
“Then the people started shouting for help and we saw people carrying bodies of people from those shops that were on fire and some were burnt badly while some seem to have been suffocated by the smoke and the stampede.
May the bereaved receive the comfort of God in Jesus' Name.
