gathered that the incident happened late on Saturday and about 28 large shops jointly shared the premises.
The Chairman, Bridgehead Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, Chinedu Ezekwike, said the fire started in one of the shops and rapidly spread to others due to the combustible materials, including machines and equipment of different types. Ezekwike, who spoke to journalists on Sunday, said the fire was caused by machines used in smoothening finished wood products like doors and chairs.
He, however, noted that traders in the market battled to control the inferno before the arrival of men of the state fire service. While lamenting the cost of the damage, he called on the state government to assist the victims in getting back to business.
