This third time is by degree believed to be more devastating, partly because the Borno society is struggling to reboot commercial activities for a post-Boko Haram economic prosperity, and partly because, according to the traders, over 90 percent of the market more than ever before, is torched.findings confirm that over 10,000 stalls of the market were razed, throwing over two million Bornoans, comprising dealers, retail traders and apprentices and their families, out of livelihood.
