Yola Main Market Wrecked By Fire!

 One of the two markets in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, was destroyed by fire, along with several significant properties and goods.

The Yola Town Main Market is the second largest market in the city and serves as the commercial centre of the Yola South Local Government Area and its surroundings. The largest market in the city is the Jimeta Modern Market, which is situated on the Jimeta axis of the capital city.

Witnesses reported that early on Monday morning, a fire broke out at the Yola Town market, destroying merchandise and stores.

Some of the entrepreneurs who retained the Sunday sales revenues reportedly now regret not taking their money home.

They claimed that despite the fire authorities' prompt response, containment was difficult due to the fire's ferocity.

As of Monday am, when this report was filed, the source of the fire was still unknown, although residents in the market area ruled out any connection to electricity because there had been a blackout throughout.

There are no documented cases of human casualties.

During a Monday morning sympathizer visit to the market, Adamawa State Deputy Governor Professor Kaletapwa Farauta assured the impacted businessmen that the government is supporting them during these difficult times.
