For the second time in one week, fire has razed Sapele Main Market in Sapele, destroying goods and properties worth several millions of naira.
Stores along the Boyo Road before St. Luke’s Anglican Church, went on flames in broad daylight making traders to run helter skelter, trying to put off the flames.
The Delta State fire service was called upon, but as at the time of filing this report, men of the service were yet to arrive.
Traders were seen lamenting their losses and could not speak to the press.
The cause of the fire is yet to be known as all hands were on deck to prevent the fire from spreading to other stores before rescue effort from the Delta State Fire Service would come.
