An eyewitness said no one could trace the source of the fire which started around 11:45 p.m. and lasted till around 4:00 a.m. when it was put out.
Chairman of Spare parts Dealers Association, Mr. Ibie Osaretin Augustine, said the fire incident had compounded the low patronage, which traders in the market were currently dealing with due to bad economy and bad roads that lead to the market. He said he received a call from an unknown person that the market was on fire and when he called the security personnel on the ground, he was told that it was somebody burning something in a street close to the market.
“Again we couldn’t get any help, it was later that we sent two of our colleagues to UNIBEN fire service, who then followed them and immediately put the fire under control and later they were joined by the firefighters of the Nigerian Army and the fire subsided. We thank God for their intervention otherwise the whole market would have been razed by the fire,” he said.
Really feel sorry about the loss in the inferno..
