A raging inferno has consumed a section of the main market in Markurdi, Benue State, officials said Tuesday night.
There were no immediate reports of casualties, but first responders were said to have been mobilised to the scene. Terver Akase, a Benue government spokesperson, told PREMIUM TIMES the fire only touched a section of the market along George Akume Road at about 6:30 p.m.The market, containing a row of lock-up shops, was built by former Governor Gabriel Suswam to unclog the Makurdi city centre and easy trading.
It served as a temporary shelter for victims of the devastating flood in 2017 and residents who fled their villages at the height of violence by herdsmen between late 2017 and early 2018.
Some will blame buhari for this, for sure May God compensate them with the best
The information contained in this report is not true. I doubt if TerAkase will supply such false information. It was a section of modern market that got burnt and it is not located on George Akume Road. Kindly bring this post down.
You are refering to the wrong market oh.
