According to Ndiigbowordwide, the cause of the fire cannot yet be determined. The plaza contains merchandise worth millions of naira.
Friday's fire began at a shop on the square, according to eyewitness accounts.
Subsequently, personnel from the Anambra State fire department extinguished the blaze.
According to this publication, fire outbreaks may be triggered by a number of natural or man-made sources.
The majority of market fires were caused by electrical surges, whereas only a few were caused by the burning of garbage near the markets.
Other concerns include the haphazard storage of gasoline, the irresponsible disposal of cigarette stubs, the use of contaminated fuel, unauthorised connections, and inadequate cables.
According to the data, several merchants perished in the blazes, while others were injured while attempting to recover their products.
Experts have also noted urbanisation without equivalent improvement and growth of public infrastructure, a weak safety culture, and a huge gap in skills, knowledge, security risk management, and mitigation as contributing factors to Nigeria's recurring fire disasters.
