The source, who pleaded in anonymity stated that the fire started when the electricity company restored power around 2:am, Monday.
The source as quoted by the Vanguard, said, “The fire started immediately power was restored. So it is believed that it was as a result of an electrical fault in one of the shops.
“The fire started at midnight, so there was no way to get through to the shop owners to come and remove their property.
“We could not rescue anything. Even the fire service we called came, but before they got here the havoc has already been done.”
