Fire, Tuesday, gutted the popular Ogbe-Ijoh market in Warri south local government area of Delta State, destroying goods and property.
Ogbe-Ijoh Market is revered for being one of the biggest fish markets across Nigeria.
It was gathered that trouble started in the dead of the night on that fateful day of Tuesday.
Although, the cause of the fire which lasted for several hours was unknown, it was learnt that it started around 11:00pm.
While residents put up their best to put the raging fire off.
In what has become a yearly routine in the market, the latest incident has been described as the most destructive ever recorded in the history of the market
It would be recall that the same market went ablaze around February 2022.
It was reliably gathered that residents and shop owners were seen running helter skelter in their bid to salvage what they could lay their hands on.
It could not be ascertained whether the fire fighters from the State Fire Service later came in to put off the raging fire before it could escalate to other sections of the market.
