Goods worth millions of naira have been destroyed by fire at the popular Minna Gwari Market, the Niger State capital.
The fire reportedly started at the scrap dealers’ segment of the market on Monday afternoon before escalating to other parts.
Witnesses said it took several hours before the fire was put under control due to lack of access roads within the market.
