Fire outbreak destroys perfume, wig shops in Onitsha
An early morning fire on Monday razed many perfumes, ladies’ wares, cosmetics and wig shops on Kano Street near Onitsha main market, Anambra State.
The fire was said to have started at about 2.00a.m., and burnt items and properties worth millions of naira before it was extinguished.
The Director of Fire Service in Anambra State, Martin Agbili, said that the fire had been contained.
Agbili stated: “The situation is under control; the major fire has been controlled.
“Heavy properties got burnt and lost to the fire incident because of the nature of the commodities being sold in that area, which helped in spreading the fire faster.”
According to him, the fire incident was not within the Onitsha main market; he urged residents to stop escalating the situation.
The director said investigations had commenced to determine the cause of the inferno.
