 ASMATA PG Inspects Afor Nnobi Market After Fire Disaster 


By Uzo Ugwunze


Early morning fire on Wednesday, at about 7.am,  reportedly gutted a section of Afor Nnobi local market,  Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State, that has up to 10 shops, but no life was lost in the inferno.


The inferno was said to have been caused by cut off high tension cables that fell on top of make-shift structure, (shop), from where it extended to about 10 shops.


Reacting to the incident when he stormed the scene of the inferno, the President General (PG), of Anambra State Markets Amalgamated Traders' Association (ASMATA), Chief Humphrey Anuna, ordered that all illegal structures bult under the high tension in the market be demolished immediately.


"I thank God that no life was lost, I have been here up to five times last year, telling them to dismantle all the illegal structures built under the high tension but to no avail. Today properties and wares worth millions of naira have been lost to the inferno.


"Look at the park in the market, they have built make-shift structures in it under high tension. That is why I ordered for the demolition of the illegal structures built there," he stated 


Also reacting, the chairman of the market, Chief Maduabuchi Ezeoke, who spoke through the former taskforce chairman of the market, Chief Mathew Ogboluogu Nwaneli, recalled that the traders have severally been warned to stop doing business under the high tension.


"With this incident it is a lesson to them that building or selling under high tension is a big risk that can result in sudden death. When the ASMATA PG was telling them last year not to build shops under high tension they taught he was only being jealous of their business.


" He has ordered that all structures built under high tension be demolished and you can see that some have started  removing them because they have seen that now he is serious. Today shops and wares estimated into millions of naira have been lost to the early morning inferno," he stated.
