According to eyewitnesses, the fire started at around 2:45 pm on Sunday and quickly spread through the market, engulfing several shops and stalls. The exact cause of the fire is still unknown, but sources suggest that it may have been sparked by a burning object in the gutter, which quickly spread to the nearby market.

Despite efforts by traders and locals to contain the blaze, the fire raged on for hours, destroying goods and properties worth millions of naira.

It was gathered that the Cross River State Fire Service was reportedly contacted, but unfortunately, their response was delayed, allowing the fire to spread further.

Efforts to reach the Cross River State Fire service proved abortive, as the numbers were switched off.

The Ikom main market located in Central Senatorial District of Cross River State, is one of the busiest markets in Cross River State, attracting traders and customers from all over the state.

The fire incident is coming exactly 4 days after a similar incident had occurred at a high court in Ogoja Local Government Area of the State.
