Residents of Trademore Estate located at Lugbe area of Abuja were on Monday thrown into shock and confusion as the market located inside the estate was gutted by fire in the early hours of Monday.
The fire reportedly started around 3:30 am shortly after the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) restored power supply and razed the market before emergency services could respond.
Though the exact cause of the fire remains unknown, eyewitnesses suspect that the incident may be linked to electrical issues.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesperson, Manzo Ezekiel confirmed the incident to journalists on Monday.
“I was awoken by calls as early as around 4 am concerning the fire at the market, at the Trademore market,” the spokesperson said.
“I put calls across to our contacts. In fact, when I called our contact centre, they confirmed to me that they had received similar alerts.”
