“We immediately deployed our two fire trucks and our brave firefighters to the scene. We fought, controlled and extinguished the fire. We prevented the fire from entering the bank or the bakery market.
“Athough some of the trucks (parked in the workshop) were burnt, the situation was put to a control,” said the Anambra fire service.
It said the cause of the fire was unknown.
No life was lost.
