Over 150 shops and properties worth millions of naira were on Sunday razed by fire at the Kpirikpiri Market, in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.

The inferno was said to have started by 2.00pm when woshippers were returning from church. The market is the second largest market in the state capital, after Abakpa Main Market.

Emegha explained that fire service station in the state was informed of the fire so late that before they could come it was too late to quench the fire. Mr Nwangele said he had to forcefully leave his church service to mobilise the Neighbourhood Watch members and other youths who aided in quenching of the fire.

The SA said that they had to ensure that thieves did not take advantage of the confusion to steal the secured goods.
