Fire guts Anambra Timber Market

A late Wednesday night fire that occurred in the Ogbosisi Timber Market in the Onitsha area of Anambra State, has left several goods destroyed.

An X user identified as Omaletocracy shared videos of the fire incident in a post.

The video showed some traders trying to salvage their goods while the fire rages.

He captioned the video as “Head bridge mkt Onitsha is on fire 18/12/2024.”

Confirming the incident in a statement on Thursday morning, the spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed that no lives were lost in the incident.

Ikenga noted that the area was cordoned off to prevent hoodlums from looting.

Ikenga said, “the swift response of the Police and Fire service operatives to the outbreak at Ogbosisi on 18/12/2024 by 8.45 pm brought the situation under control.

“Meanwhile, police operatives have cordoned off the scene of the incident to prevent hoodlums from taking undue advantage of the situation to loot properties and goods of individuals in the area.

“The command has, however, begun an investigation into the cause of the fire incident and notes that no life was lost. Also, the worth of goods destroyed is yet to be ascertained.”
