A fire has engulfed popular Auto Spare Parts market in the early hours of Tuesday, destroying goods and properties worth millions of naira in Nnewi, Anambra state.
A video clip of the unfortunate incident shows the market being burned without any presence of the Fire Service, both state and federal, as the crowd watched helplessly as the fire destroyed the market.
A video clip of the incident was shared on X by Leadership Newspapers showed the raging fire razed high-rise market buildings.
A voice was overheard in the video saying: "Afia Mgbede is on fire now. This is early Tuesday morning. Motor parts is on fire. All the Afia Mgbede motor parts market is completely burning. We don't have Fire Service in Anambra State and it is very unfortunate."
When contacted the police spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, he told Thewatch Africa that there was no such information before him.
He said, "There is no such report before me."
An eyewitness who identified himself as Sunday David, told Thewatch Africa that the inferno started in the night and that no one knew the cause of the fire.
"It is not the entire Motor Spare Parts Market that got burnt but a market inside the Spare Parts Market called 'Afia Mgbede market'."
