According to a statement issued by Agbili on Wednesday in Onitsha, the event occurred at the Science and Lab Line of Ogbo Ogwu Market, not the entire Ogbo Ogwu Market. "Many precautions have been made to protect the overall market." "There are casualties, but we don't know how many people died or were hurt," he said.
The fire also destroyed property and products worth millions of naira.
Remember that the fire is said to have originated at approximately 12.10 p.m. on Tuesday when chemicals housed in one of the shops along the Progressive Science Union Line burst.
"It's a terrible scenario," Agbili remarked, "but the fire is now under control." The vibration from the explosions caused some market buildings to collapse.
