PHOTOS: Tragedy As Fire Guts Down Abuja Furniture Market
Goods and properties worth hundreds of millions of naira were today
destroyed by fire at Kugbo Furniture Market in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Some eyewitnesses said that the fire started after a spark in an electrical appliances store in one of the shops.
One of the witnesses, who gave his name as Uche Okwu, said the fire started at 11.00 p.m. Wednesday night after traders had gone home. He blamed the colossal fire and its attendant destruction on the failure of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) to respond to a request by members of the Market Association to expand the market. “The loss today cannot be quantified,” said Mr. Okwu.
The fire burnt more than a hundred shops beyond recognition after raging for more than five hours before fire fighters could contain it.
