Mrs Mercy Nsor, the Chairman of Ikom Local Government Area, has sympathised with traders in the Ikom central market over the fire incident that occurred on Sunday, January 12, 2025. She urged them to be vigilant and cautious to avoid a recurrence.
The Chairman stated this when she visited the market on the spot to assess the extent of the damage. She thanked the traders for timely intervention in ensuring no life was lost.
In his response, the Chairman of A-Line, Mr Effiong Okon Etu revealed that the cause of the fire was the unnecessary burning of refuse within/around the shop’s premises, even though that is not allowed in the market.
He solicited the Government to rebuild the burnt shops and provide good firefighting equipment for the market.
