A fire broke out at the Karu market in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the evening of June 28, 2024, destroying goods and properties worth millions of naira.
The fire started at around 8 p.m. on Thursday evening, burning down a large part of the market. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but only one fire truck was on the ground to battle the fire at the time of the incident.
The full extent of the damage to Karu market is still being assessed, but the fire has clearly had a significant impact on the community. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and officials are working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the outbreak.
Soldiers were on the ground to maintain order and ensure the safety of everyone involved in the aftermath of the fire. The FCT Fire Service, with a station in Karu Market, responded to the incident but faced challenges in accessing the scene due to the large crowd of people flocking to the area.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire may have been caused by an electrical surge, which quickly spread and engulfed parts of the market.
Traders and shop owners were seen trying to salvage what was left of their goods and properties, while others were trying to assess the extent of the damage.
The Karu market is one of the largest markets in the FCT, with thousands of traders and shoppers visiting the market daily. The fire has left many traders counting their losses and wondering how they will recover from the incident.
The FCT authorities have promised to investigate the incident and provide support to those affected by the fire.
In the meantime, traders and shop owners are calling for urgent assistance to help them recover from the devastating fire.
