When I arrived, many shops had already been burnt down. We tried to determine the cause of the fire, and from what people nearby said, the power voltage was unusually high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe neighbouring houses reported that the surge affected their fans, lights, and other appliances. This is likely the cause of the fire. Millions of naira worth of goods have been destroyed\u2014laptops, phones, and accessories were all burnt. The most unfortunate part is that many of us had just received new stock this week. It\u2019s a big shock to all of us who own shops here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the Kogi State Government to intervene by providing financial assistance to those who lost their goods and by rebuilding the GSM Village.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know we have a governor who listens. He is like a father to us. As you can see, we are young, resourceful people. Most of us are graduates, and we are not waiting for the government to provide jobs for us\u2014we created jobs on our own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe properties we have nurtured for over 15 years were destroyed within an hour. We ask the government to assist us financially and help rebuild the market. In this market alone, there are about 200 youths engaged in this business. People were already struggling before this disaster,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the incident, the Financial Secretary of the Kogi Association of Phones and Accessories Dealers (KAPAD), Moses Felix, described the impact the fire has had on him both physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was crying this morning when my shop got burnt. I couldn\u2019t do anything. I sell and repair laptops. All my goods, which arrived just this week, were completely destroyed. I\u2019m starting from scratch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a married man with children. Where do I go from here? How will I feed my family in this tough economy? We need the government\u2019s help. We create jobs for people. I have three boys working for me who are now going home without jobs,\u201d Felix lamented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fire started in the early hours of Thursday due to a power surge Shop owners were unable to salvage anything as the fire quickly got out of control Properties worth millions of naira have been destroyed following a fire outbreak at the GSM Village around Kpata Market in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
