Traders in Monday Market, Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, are still in mourning mood following a fire incident which destroyed over 10,000 stalls in the market on Sunday, UTHMAN ABUBAKAR writes

By 10pm, Saturday, February 25, Adamu Mohammed had retired to bed for the day, after casting his vote and engaging friends in heated analysis on the chances of the leading presidential candidates in Nigeria’s 2023 elections.

It was a fellow trader. “First Bank is on fire”, the fellow told him tersely in a loud, startling tone. Inside the market, men of the Fire Service and the huge inflow of the traders were, for about four hours, struggling to subdue the smouldering flames. 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.
