The Niger State Fire Service (NSFS) has prevented an inferno which threatened to destroy shops and goods at the Abdulkadir Kure Ultramodern Market, Minna (Minna Main Market).
Malam Isiaku Kwatu, Secretary of the market who confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Minna said that the incident occurred on Monday.
“There was a fire outbreak. The fire started when a trader tried to destroy expired goods removed from his shop.
“When the fire became uncontrollable we quickly called in the fire service to prevent it from escalating.
“We thank God that no live was lost, no shop and goods were touched,” he said.
Kwatu advised traders to always consult the market association for such destruction as there are designated points meant for that in the market.
