 Fire Ravages Benue Rice Mill Market, Destroys Property Worth Millions


A devastating fire has destroyed properties worth millions of naira at the popular rice mill market in Wurukum, near the River Benue bridge in Makurdi.


The blaze erupted in the early hours of Monday, but swift intervention by firefighters prevented it from spreading further. However, several shops were severely affected, with processed and unprocessed rice, milling machines, and other goods completely destroyed.


One of the victims, Mercy Hanmaikyur, lamented losing about N10 million in the fire. “I opened this shop in December, investing N10 million. I had three machines—a de-stoning machine, a rice polishing machine—and many bags of rice. Everything was lost,” she said.


Another trader, Iorwa Jeremiah, said the fire broke out at a time when no one could salvage anything. “By the time I got there, firefighters and shop owners were battling the flames, but the damage had already been done,” he recounted.


Market Chairman Terva Igyar confirmed that several shops, a motorcycle, and six milling machines were destroyed. He noted that Makurdi Local Government officials and other stakeholders had promised to assess the damage.


The traders ruled out electricity as the cause of the fire, stating their shops had no power supply. They have appealed to Governor Hyacinth Alia for assistance to help them recover from their losses.
