The fire started from inside the shop till it burnt down 10 shops and 25 vegetable tables, containing cabbages, onions, fish, tomatoes, some greens and many more food items,\u2019\u2019 said Laku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fire was\nextinguished when fire brigade, UN, and tank water suppliers turned up to fight\nthe devastating fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018\u2019We called\nthe fire brigade and they turned up and help us. Much thanks to the UN and the\nHabesh, who are supplying clean drinking water in the area. They have helped us\nso much and we thank them, and of course there were so many vehicles in the\nmarket here, who all contributed until the fire was silenced around 9 pm in the\nevening,\u2019\u2019 Laku explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laku said registration\nof the names of those who lost their shops was ongoing to be submitted to the\ngovernment and NGOs, so that if there is any help, the shop keepers should be\nhelped. \u201cWe as the chamber of commerce, have no help to these business men and\nwomen,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laku further\nexplained that no one was arrested or blamed for arson, because the fire was\ndue to electricity. \u201cSo my message to the government is that these people should\nbe supported to resume their business,\u2019\u2019 he said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the shop\nkeepers, Madelia, cried for help from the government and its humanitarian aids\npartners. \n\n\u2018\u2019Fire broke out at late afternoon when people\nwere scattered. I was up to Gumbo and on my way back I saw smoke at the side of\nour shops, and I was shocked. Reaching there, I only found ashes. So the\ngovernment and the NGOs should help us because we have got a lot of loses,\nmostly those young men beside me have imported their goods last week, so I\u2019m\nsure they are left with empty hands,\u2019\u2019 Madelia lamented. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Orayo Gabriel Ujuok Fire broke out at Gudele market destroying ten shops and 25 vegetable tables.
