Goods and equipment worth millions of naira were consumed on Wednesday after fire ravaged the Marine Base Timber Market, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

gathered that items destroyed in the inferno included spraying machines, sawing engines, upholstery machines, generators, wood, zinc, building materials and drinks.

People expressed disappointment that firefighters did not respond to distress calls, which resulted in huge losses. “What pained me the most were the church benches; I was to deliver 10 today. I had finished everything just to come this morning to spray them because they wanted to make use of them on Sunday. They are worth about N1m. But everything is burnt; all my tools, sewing and screwing machines and generator. As I am here now, I don’t have a single hammer.”He said, “The security men told me that the fire started from the coffin side and that they did not know what caused it.

“I was forced to call Abuja and they picked just once. They asked me what the problem was and I told them. They said, call your state.”
