Raging fire at the popular Baga Fish Market in Maiduguri on Sunday destroyed dozens of shops, fish stock and other property.
Malam Muhammad Labo, a trader in the Market, said started at about 10.30 p.m., suggesting that it was caused by electrical fault.
“We locked our shops and went home; later, we received the shocking news that the market was on fire.
“Most of the shops at the main fish market were burnt to ashes; we are still trying to put out the fire.”
Labo, however, said that the quick intervention of the fire service personnel helped contain the fire from spreading to other parts of the market.
