Traders count losses as fire guts Onitsha market

“Information got to me that the fire started at about 4am and I immediately rushed to the scene. The two-storey building housing the police block, Onitsha North LGA office, fire service and warehouses had already been razed before rescue teams came from Asaba, Delta State and Awka,” Ezeoha.

“We lost a lot to the early morning fire, the entire wares and items turned to ashes in the building housing those offices.” Another victim, Stella-Marris Okeke, said, “I had two shops of home and office decoration items such as clothing and fitting materials. The two shops were all razed down, and I lost everything. I cannot immediately estimate the cost now as I am too devastated right now.”
