Fire Erupts in Popular Diobu Market, Millions of Goods Lost
In a devastating turn of events, a massive fire broke out in the bustling area of Diobu, in number 3 Lumumber Street Port Harcourt. The incident, which occurred late last night, has left the street reeling as millions of goods were destroyed in the blaze.
According to eyewitnesses, the fire started in one of the stalls and quickly spread to nearby shops, fueled by the dry conditions and strong winds. Local authorities and fire crews were no where to found in the scene.
“It was a chaotic scene,” said one vendor, who preferred to remain anonymous. “People were running around, trying to salvage what they could, but the fire was just too intense. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
The area, which is known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse range of goods, is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The loss of millions of goods is a significant blow to the community, as many vendors rely on the market for their livelihoods.
“This is a huge setback for us,” said another vendor, who has a betting shop at the street for over a decade. “We’ve lost everything. I don’t know how we’re going to recover from this.”
