On Tuesday, a fire destroyed mobile phones and other accessories worth millions of naira in a plaza opposite Anambra State’s Eke Awka Market.
The fire, which began around 7.28 p.m., was allegedly caused by a power surge.
According to eyewitnesses, in addition to the phone accessories that were destroyed in the fire, some of the building’s roofing sheets were also damaged.
Engr Martin Agbili, Anambra Fire Chief, confirmed the incident, saying the fire would have spread to other nearby buildings if his men had not responded quickly.
