Fire has gutted over 600 shops at a market plaza on Kano Street, near the Main Market in the Onitsha area of Anambra State.

“Due to the highly combustible nature of the materials and substances sold at that area, it contributed to the quick spread of the fire. The fire service was able to fight the fire to a standstill and no life was lost during the incident.”

Ikenga said, “The fire outbreak that occurred in the early hours of today at the Onitsha market is under control. There was no loss of life, although goods worth billions of naira have been destroyed. “The command wants to use this opportunity to advise members of the public to always turn off their appliances before leaving the house and offices.”
