“The situation is under control, the major fire has been controlled.
“Heavy properties got burnt and lost to the fire incident because of the nature of the commodities being sold in that area, which helped in spreading the fire faster,” Agbili said.
He stated that the fire outbreak was not within the Onitsha main market, urging residents to stop escalating the situation.
The director said investigations had commenced to determine the cause of the inferno.
