Hundreds of shops
stuffed to the brim with food, clothings and other items, as Christmas shopping
peaked, were razed in a wild fire which reduced the Mile I market in Port
Harcourt to rubles, yesterday.
The fire also burnt adjacent house, 57, Ikwerre Road, a
two-storey building housing shop owners and other residents who lost virtually
all their personal belongings to the fire.
The inferno reportedly started out at about 2 am, but none
of the devastated shop owners and the market authorities, some of who also
claimed to have lost millions of cash locked in their shops, were able to
establish a clue as to what ignited it and the exact point where it started.
