Goods reportedly worth over N1 billion were destroyed in a fire outbreak at the Ebonyi State International Market on Wednesday. The fire affected one of the largest warehouses in the market. DAILY POST reports that the cause of the fire incident, which started around 2:00 am, is yet to be ascertained.

Also, the fire is yet to be put out as of the time of filing this report. Speaking to newsmen, the brother of the owner of the affected warehouse, Mr Chidi Okechukwu, blamed the incident on poor security management in the market. He said, 'If I'm to say, the security personnel in the market knows when this fire started. We have no adequate security in this market.

'All the goods in this large warehouse have been burnt down. The worth of the goods destroyed is billions of naira. The warehouse is filled with goods from up to downstairs. It is regrettable that the goods have been burnt to ashes,' he added. Okechukwu insinuated that the fire could be an act of sabotage, as he described it as mysterious. He said, 'You can't attribute it to power surge because there is no electricity in the International Market.
