An early morning fire on Monday engulfed a market in Trademore Estate, along Airport Road, Abuja, destroying several properties.
The cause of the fire, which started around 4:00 a.m., has not yet been determined.
However, a resident who spoke to Vanguard suggested that an electrical fault might have triggered the incident.
“We do not yet know the cause of the fire, but we cannot rule out an electrical issue,” the resident said.
Men of the Federal Fire Service arrived at the scene about two hours after the fire began and successfully extinguished the flames.
Details on the extent of the damage or potential casualties are yet to be disclosed at the time of filing this report.
