By Eyo Nse,

In December 2017 fire razed down part of Watt Market where Yoruba traders are largely occupied before Christmas day.

On the new year day, January 1, 2018 at about 2AM, fire razed down part of Marian market which is the second largest market in Calabar after Watt market which is the largest.

According to an eye witness, Nyakno Cosmas who spoke to Brainnews Radio revealed that the fire started as early as 2AM on 1 January 2018 with the aid of a knockout explosion.

According to him, 32 shops including his mother’s shop was razed by the new year fire.

Imagine when this news is making front page

Because isn't about Toto Tonto Duke or Bobrisky useless news!

Mod Shebi you've succeeded in crossing over your bad habits into 2018

Issorite

I thought we only have ritualists in Onitsha and Lagos who converts people's money to theirs with fire. So Calabar is among ?

when you start your new year with a huge loss then you'll spend the remaining months of the year struggling to survive hardships thereafter and heartbreak and probably to regain the loss.

too bad.

They will soon rush here to start shouting up and down that Buhari and Afonja should be held responsible!



May the Lord be with the victims.

This is really bad.. Most of these fire incidents are caused by carelessness of traders in handling power supply issues.. The fire services have failed us also

Since Sir Adeboye foresee less fire more flood...so so fire everywhere! God help us

eyah, so unfortunate, I pray they recover fully from the disaster.
