 As victims of the late Friday night fire are the Agui Roses section of the popular radical market counter their losses, some are a legion arson. Plastic Africa spoke to some of them and a business developer who underscored the need for the government and other well-mini-Nigerians to help shore up the losses. Desperately, some of the victims were since crumbling through the rubbles in a last-minute effort to salvage whatever they could find. This particular building gave way to the impact of the inferno as flumes of smoke hovered in the air. As we dug through, there were claims of criminal intent as allegations of arson resounded. However, chairman of the Agui Roses market dismissed these claims saying investigations are ongoing by the authorities. We are investigation is ongoing. We can never say for sure or ascertain the true picture of what happened and the cost of this fire. We are say investigating. But I know from our statistics the building that got by fire is one of the biggest building that have about 150 shops and the other building that was also involved is contained about 50 to 60 shops. So we are talking about the range of over 200 shops. And I'll tell you, billions of Naira was lost. It was a great disaster. Many shops are affected. It's almost countable. It's almost more than 200 shops affected. Beauty is collapsing. Everywhere is collapsing. So it's almost countable. It's on countable. It's not as born intentional and go down electricity here. There's no light here. There was no light here. We caught up with the business developer, Professor Chris Imumulen, who harped on the need to set up effective fire service around markets and other public places. He also promised to give soccer to the victims. Yeah, fire. Fire incident is one incident that one cannot foresee. But again, because of the way the country have been built, that's due with the law of foundation. If you say they should have been fire conscious, that is not the solution. You know, many persons have. But the system we run in Nigeria is one that everybody is on his own. And they need to. But again, I think the traders by themselves need to be cautioned. The security who are here need to be cautioned. There's need again, maybe for detective system to have a battle. But if that has happened, the losses would have been, we wouldn't have gotten to this level. Over 200 shops were affected in the inferno.
