The popular Wuse market in the Central Area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has reportedly been engulfed in a fire.

The cause of the fire cannot be ascertained at the time of filing this report, but the incident abruptly ended the business of the day around the market area.

The fire outbreak, OSUN DEFENDER gathered reportedly caused pandemonium as well as traffic gridlock on all roads leading to the market. People are seen running in different directions.

Policemen, who arrived at the market, barricaded the entrance to prevent people from moving into the markets. They were seen shooting sporadically and firing tear gas into the atmosphere.

Our correspondent who visited the scene noticed that a section of the market, specifically the car park at the northern side of the entrance had been engulfed as smoke billowed into the atmosphere.

Some vehicles in the car park have been burnt already while eople inside the market are also seen forcing their way out by jumping the perimeter fence.

However, a team of firefighters are already quenching the fire as this report is being filed.
