Goods worth Millions razed by an inferno at Gikomba Market. Traders count losses after fire broke-up at the middle of the night.
The Government has sent Interior Ps Karanja Kibicho and his team to investigate the cause. A team from Kenya Power has also been sent to help in finding the solutions.
A section of Nairobi’s Gikomba market burned to ashes, leading to losses amounting to millions of shillings.
Traders said the fire broke out at 2 am Thursday.
Nairobi County emergency response teams were by 10 am still battling the fire that consumed cereals, second-hand clothes and other items.
Their efforts were complemented by a military chopper helped put out the remaining flames as stall owners scavenged through what remained of their goods in an attempt to salvage whatever they could.
