An inferno has razed shops at the new Lafia Motor Park in Nasarawa state, destroying goods worth millions of naira.

A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) who visited the scene of the incident learnt that the fire started on Friday night and lasted till early hours of Saturday.

It, however, took the personnel of the Fire Service in the state several hours to put out  the fire.

Speaking of the incident, the State Coordinator for the Fire Service, Hanatu George, said they got a distress call on Friday night and responded immediately.

Mrs George, however, said that although no life was lost, investigation had begun to ascertain the cause of the fire.

One of the victims of the fire disaster, Ejike Igwe, a car spare parts seller, said his entire shop was razed by the inferno.

Mr Igwe, who said he could not quantify his goods lost to the fire disaster, appealed for assistance from spirited Nigerians.
