Lawrenzo confirmed that no lives were lost in the incident.
However, a visit to Terminus Market by our correspondent on Sunday morning revealed that several shops and their goods had been damaged by the fire.
The exact cause of the fire had not been determined at the time of reporting.
Attempts to reach the General Manager of [“Jos Main Market”], Mangnan Yusuf Wamyil, were unsuccessful, as his phone line was switched off.
Our correspondent also noted that the incident comes just days after a similar blaze last Tuesday destroyed parts of the “Plateau State College of Health Technology” in the Zawan community, Jos South Local Government Area, reducing the medical laboratory section to ashes and leaving students in distress.
