A fire outbreak has burned down an electronic shop owned by Mohammed Abba Malam, the Chairman of the Electronics Sellers Association, in Monday Market, Maiduguri, Borno State.

According to eyewitnesses, the fire started around 7 pm on Monday and destroyed home appliances worth millions of naira.

Confirming the incident to PUNCH Online on Tuesday, the Spokesperson of the Borno State Police Command, ASP Nahum Daso, said the police, following a distress call, dispatched its men to the area and placed them on alert to avoid stealing property during the fire outbreak.
