Fire Breaks Out in Onitsha Main Market, Shops And Offices Destroyed Photos) by TMSMedia: 1:20pm On Mar 21, 2023 |
Traders are counting their losses after shops and offices were destroyed as fire broke out at the popular Onitsha Main Market, in Anambra State, IGBERETV reports. According to an eyewitness, the fire broke out early morning of Tuesday, March 21, 2023, in a section of the market known as White House. White House is the office of the leaders of the market, an expansive two-storey building and hosts several offices, halls for meetings in the first and second floor, while the ground floor hosts shops. "The area mostly affected by the fire is the block of shops under the white house, where expensive lace materials are sold.”, eyewitness said. Firefighters battled for hours to contain the inferno as some of the traders salvaged their goods while others watched in tears as the fire consumed their shops. Spokesman of Anambra Command of the Police, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said firefighters and policemen were on ground to control the fire and prevent looting. A video which captured the fire was shared on Facebook by Udeh Nicholas with the caption; "Fire alert! https://www.facebook.com/1823116893/posts/pfbid02afgpWsdC1tW9Hby7j77oFdhCawRVfpAusWjHNk1bdmBiZbtNZ8AkrtbQJ5Tyz6HEl/?app=fbl https://igberetvnews.com/1441297/shops-offices-destroyed-fire-breaks-onitsha-main-market-photos/ 1 Like 1 Share

The issue of fire at markets all over the country shows how underdeveloped we are operating in this country. How many markets in Nigeria have, fire alarms/smoke detectors, CCTV cameras to capture some of this incident, in order to minimize further damage? 57 Likes 5 Shares |

I've been in shock since Saturday, I never believed Yorubas are this evil and tribalistic, I have cool and descent Yoruba friends, now I can't look at them the same way ![]() ![]() One fact is obvious to every Igbo man and people of old Eastern region, "Yorubas are your real enemies, not Fulanis" They will destroy your source of livelihood and kill you if given the chance. Healing from this is impossible. ![]() ![]() ![]() 27 Likes 11 Shares |

sorry for the loss.. I pray derr Govt try to compensate them... I thank God this never happened in Lagos they would av tagged the GOvt say na derr thug and APC destroy dere market nothing wey u fit tell dem dey only believe in dere own Theory... If fire incident happens in Lagos they are always jumping to conclusions that is the Yoruba always burning dere market... This was how the GRV guy jumped into conclusion on the Akere market and his people too jumped into conclusion... I think every big Markets needs a Fire truck 🚒 always on standby where the people in charge do shifting but the Truck must always be there for any emergency wether na day or night the way Police dey stay for check point... 40 Likes 2 Shares |

![]() So sad, fire due to neutral failure from mains supply burnt my fridge and nearly burnt my wife's shop. It was the crate of drinks close by which quenched the fire miraculously because there were broken bottles on the ground. I think lack of oxygen and suffocation from the spilled drinks helped. What am I trying to say. I was careless, very careless. This could have been prevented by a surge protector.This is basic knowledge. I could have built an overvoltage and under voltage cut off, but I overlooked it. If not for those drinks acting as a deluge. I would have been fucckkeedd. Fires like this are preventable and Thier prevention system is very cheap. But just like me , we just don't care. Things like this will keep on repeating and sorry for the loss won't solve anything. People need to start taking safety serious People need to start understanding it is your responsibility to protect yourself, your team and your asset. If everyone has this mentality, the ratio of this issues will drop significantly, but no as usual It is the responsibility of God and Government. We reap what we sow 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Too many fire incidents,let them find a way to avoid this. Most times it is caused by nepa light,wire on top pole will be sparking. Something similar happened last year and it was light that caused it. Shop available at maza maza lagos Yearly rent 150k Two year rent required Agent and agreement 200k |

Can't the government of Anambra State install a strong fire prevention and fire fighting strategy in this market? For how long will this continue to happen? Its only in Nigeria that terrible losses continue to happen yet nothing put in place to prevent future occurrence. Very painful! 3 Likes 1 Share |
