Several shops were on Tuesday morning razed by a fire outbreak at Owode Market in Offa, Kwara State.
It was learnt the inferno resulted in the destruction of numerous shops.
A video of the incident seen by the Nation captured the moment some of the shop owners watched their properties destroyed by the fire.
“This light is too much. This is not caused by NEPA (electricity). Maybe some people were cooking and the fire started from there because this light is much,” one of the traders said in the video.
