Sources familiar with the incident said the fire started at about midnight when residents of the city, who had spent most of their day voting in Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections, had retired to bed.
Information officer of the market management, Bawa Gana, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that “the fire has burned the whole market complex.” Most traders and sympathisers who spoke with our reporter said they could not comprehend how the fire could have started in the first place. Officials of the Borno State Fire Department had been working their heads out since 1:00 a.m., according to those living around the market.But the firefighters, working all night up to about 7:00 a.m., had to contend with the milling crowd who had blocked the access route to the market.
So sad, that major market.
Ehya!
