Properties worth millions of naira were on Sunday destroyed by fire at the popular Ekiosa Market in Benin, Edo State.

The fire also gutted a five-storey office complex of the Edo Property Development Agency, located on the Sakponba Road.

“I was in my shop when I saw flames of fire in the market. My husband and I were inside the shop when he said he wanted to go home; as he was about to go, I looked outside and saw fire in the centre of the market. Unfortunately, there was nobody to help extinguish the fire since when it started,” she stated.

Some of the affected victims were said to have stocked their shops last week ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations. The youth accused the firefighters of neglecting the burning market by diverting attention to the five-storey EPDA building.

Nigeria is a shame.. I was there when it started small. They called the Nigeria fire service, all they could say was that there was no water.

Eki means Market in Benin Language. So,it is Ekiosa without the market at the End.
