Traders lament as fire guts Onitsha market

The cause of the inferno could not be ascertained as of press time.

Some victims, Jude Nwufo who lost wooden doors and chairs and Daniel Achu who lost saw machines appealed to the government for financial assistance.“The times are hard. This is not the best time to experience this kind of thing. We need assistance. Our governor, Chief Willie Obiano, should come to our assistance,” Achu stated.

President-General of Bridge-head Market Traders Union, Hon. Sunday Obinze, while conducting newsmen round the scene, said they suspected electrical fault as the cause of the fire incident On his part, Secretary of Big Yam Sellers Association, Collins Onwunali, described as enormous the quantum of damage but thanked God that no life was lost.

moskedapages Another one?

When will an end come to fire outbreaks in Nigeria?

Ozokwakwa

Again? I'm thinking something must be fishy. God have mercy on those that must have lost things and restore their losses in Jesus name Amen

God is faithful bcos all that was lost will be recovered by grace

I remember someone sayin during the last fire outbreak that onitsha market is next! God pls stop all dis and if there are some bad people behind it let them reap the fruit of their labour fast

Again?

Not Again, let’s pray for Onitsha

This is really disturbing. What is really happening?

Not the best of time for this. So many 🔥 incidents lots of market all over the country recently. The government has the responsibility of providing and deploying functional fire tools for quick intervention. And the traders should be strict on having fire extinguishers. So sad.

Hmmmm another 🔥 or the one that happened at Benin market today. Nawoo

Again?

I said it. Fire will start burning markets. It is their hand work to make Christian's cry on Christmas day. Be watchful of your environment. They envy the Christian's celebration

Nigeria is on fire

Gos will save us oo

Onisha market on fire again ?

Again?

Oooh boy

They can blame Tinubu for this too.

Another fire 🤦‍♀️
