An early morning fire on Monday ravaged the market at Trademore Estate, located off the Umar Musa Yar’Adua Airport Road in Abuja.
While the exact cause remains unclear, residents suspect an electrical fault may have triggered the blaze.
Joe, a local resident, was alerted to the fire around 4 a.m. and described the scene as tense. Initial attempts to reach the Federal Fire Service and the FCT Fire Service were unsuccessful, but a response was coordinated after residents contacted the fire service at Dunamis Church.
Firefighters from the EFCC and Sauka stations arrived at the scene around 5 a.m. and were able to contain the fire after two hours of efforts.
