Good worth million of naira were destroyed in the early hours of Saturday as fire gutted Bababa Shopping Plaza, located inside the popular Wunti Market in Bauchi metropolis.

DAILY POST gathered that the fire incident started on the top floor of the one-storey plaza at about 12:45am.

Confirming the incident in a telephone interview with DAILY POST, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Bauchi State Fire Service, Abubakar Babanyaya Bala, disclosed that preliminary investigation revealed that the fire outbreak occurred as a result of power surge in one of the over 100 shops.

According to Bala, as of the time traders were closing on Friday, there was no power supply to the plaza, adding that the power surge leading to the fire outbreak happened when public power was restored.

“We received a call from someone that there is a fire outbreak in the market. The fire started in the midnight at the Bababa Shopping Plaza in Wunti market in Bauchi,” the fire service spokesman said.

He added that operatives of the service were mobilised immediately and deployed to the scene of as soon as the incident was reported.

On their arrival at the scene, our men discovered that the top floor of the plaza had been engulfed by fire.

“The fire had spread to all the shops in the floor by then. Our men were able to put out the fire within 30 minutes of their arrival at the scene,” Bala said.

He said that no life was lost in the fire, adding that nobody sustained injuries in what he termed “unfortunate incident”.

The PRO, however, advised people to always ensure that they put off their electrical appliances when closing from their offices and shops, adding that they should always endeavour to switch off all appliances not in use at home.


Meanwhile, Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has ordered that the cause of the fire outbreak be investigated.

The Governor gave the order when he visited the scene of the incident as fire service men battled to put off the fire.

He assured that the state government would assist victims of the fire incident.

Well the problem with my fellow country men is, if they actually see a safer place to do business from the comfort of their home like that of my signāture they wouldn't grab with both hands.

A trade where fire has nothing to do with it, come rain or shine, you trade comfortably, Nna, if you are still waiting for government in this country, you back behind, the world is going technological, join now

Too bad...

Bad energy everywhere in Nigeria.

If anyone get killed or lose hard earn resource nothing concern government.

Nigeria government is more bothered about reviving the economy right now.

Last time I checked we are still in recession

It will eventually happen in your state soon, because you don't mock people that have no business with your hypocrite and politics in Nigeria.

Planned fire. A trader squandered all his profits plus capital, so the only way to stay afloat is by causing the fire and in due time, government will compensate "them". A stupid and wicked win-win situation
