Barely three weeks after a fire outbreak at Kubwa Ultra-Modern Market in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja where many people lost their lives, another market located in Nyanya went up in flames on Tuesday night.

The incident caused pandemonium in the market as traders and passers-by scampered for safety.

The cause of the fire which started around 8 pm could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.

However, the spokesperson of the Federal Fire service, Ugo Huan, confirmed the incident, adding that the inferno is under control.

She said, “It is true. We received a distress call and our men went there. Everything is under control.”
