Reports from the Popular Onitsha main market says there has been a fire incidence. The cause of the fire, which started around midnight is yet to be ascertained.
Two block of shops within the section of the market known as Kano Street have so far been razed by the inferno. Efforts by fire fighters who arrived the scene shortly to put out the fire have not been successful as the fire continued raging.
Confirming the incident, Fire Chief, Engr Martin Agbili said his men were promptly deployed to the area immediately he was alerted.
He said: “At about 0220hrs (2.20am) of Monday 28-11-2022, Anambra State Fire Service, received a distress call of fire outbreak at Kano Street behind Main Market, Onitsha.
“However, we deployed our fire truck and firefighters to scene of fire and they have been working there. They have gone for refilling of the fire truck twice.”
The figures released via its official twitter handle revealed these startling figures that highlighted the spendings and asked pertinent questions concerning the judicious use of state funds.
This comes on the heels of questions asked of the Akwa Ibom state Governement over the 13% derivations funds that had been paid to the state in recent times.
