The popular Kogi Central Market in Kabba, Kogi State, was reportedly razed in the early hours of Monday.
The fire left traders and members of the community in shock and sorrow as the flames consumed numerous businesses and sources of livelihood.
Sympathizers rushed to the scene to prevent further spread, but despite their efforts, the intensity of the inferno made it difficult.
Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing, with authorities working to determine whether it resulted from an electrical fault, negligence, or any other factor.
Meanwhile, Kabba residents have blamed the absence of firefighting equipment in the market that would have helped put out the flames.
