Residents in the area helped to put out the fire. Speaking to XYZ News, Mr. Edward Otu said all items were destroyed by the fire but no casualties were recorded.

“We tried using fire extinguishers but they didn’t work, there were people in there so we had to wait for them to come out and by that time the whole place had caught fire,” he recounted.

He said about 45 refrigerators and freezers as well 20 flat TV screens were destroyed in the fire.
