got burnt about a year ago.

The Sabo market was on January 28, 2020 gutted by fire. It was reported that not less than 100 shops in the market were destroyed by the fire.However, a year after the incident, the traders lamented that the governor had not fulfilled his promise. She said, “I want to plead with our governor, Dapo Abiodun. We are appealing to him to help in reconstructing this market for us because many of our colleagues in this market have died due to sun and dust.

“We have packed all our goods to the house; we are borrowing money to sell and for some weeks now, we have not been selling. People that we borrowed money from are dragging us to pay their money and we don’t have anywhere to sell the goods.”
