 Fire Destroys Section of Yola Temporary Market


A fire outbreak has destroyed part of the temporary market in Yola, which was established for traders displaced from the old market complex.


The old market, which was demolished after a fire incident last year, is currently under reconstruction.


The fire reportedly began around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 8, spreading rapidly due to flammable materials and causing significant damage to shops and goods. Firefighters, aided by local volunteers, managed to prevent the blaze from consuming the entire market.


Although no casualties were reported, affected traders have suffered considerable losses and are in distress.


Governor Ahmadu Fintiri extended his sympathies to the traders and pledged support to help them recover from the incident.
