A trader at the Spar shopping mall in Calabar, Cross River State, has recounted the horrifying moment fire razed the popular shopping complex.
The distraught trader, in an interview with TVC News posted via YouTube on Saturday, said the fire started the previous night before signs of danger became obvious to shop owners and tenants.
“I am a victim, oh, I am a victim, I am a victim. My husband’s shop is already down. I don’t know the fate of my own. I don’t know. I don’t know the fate of my own,” she lamented.
According to her, the first indication of trouble came when a bulb blew in her shop, releasing smoke that prompted her to alert the mall’s maintenance team.
