Fire Guts 118 Shops In Jos Market by simtosul: 2:40pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
Jos - A raging night inferno razed 118 shops at the Kabong market in Jos North on Thursday morning. Newsmen who visited the market, could not access the burnt section as some shops were still in flames. Others also had thick smoke billowing from them, making visibility very difficult. The actual cause of the fire could not be ascertained, but Christopher Jama, Chairman, Kabong Market Traders Association, who briefed the governor when he visited the scene said the fire started by 4:00 am. Jama claimed that the fire was caused by an electrical spark when public power supply was restored in the night. He told Governor Simon Lalong that 118 shops were completely burnt, and noted that goods destroyed included bags of maize, beans, rice, and poultry products. He appealed to the governor to come to the aid of the affected traders ‘whose means of livelihood had been destroyed’. Lalong, who expressed “deep shock” at the development, promised to remodel the market and also address the traders plight. The governor directed the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce to liaise with the market union to get details of the incident. The market was still inaccessible as at the time of the governor’s visit as smoke was still billowing from the burnt shops. Source : News 24 |
