By: Ben Ogbemudia

Shop owners at the popular Kugbo Furniture Market are currently weeping over lost of millions of Naira following the fire inferno that burnt down the market on Sunday morning.

Our reporter who visited the market reported that residents of the area  were running around and packing what they could.

Some shop owners who spoke with ThisNigeria  said that the fire, which started around 6am on Sunday, had lasted over one hour before the men of the Fire Service arrived.

A shop owner, who cried uncontrollably, told our correspondent that he just stocked up his shop yesterday but everything has gone down in flames.

Another shop owner, who simply identified himself as Joe, said all his goods went with the fire, adding that this happens every year, either in December or January.
