A fire outbreak is raging at a SPAR shopping outlet in Calabar on Saturday morning, with flames visible from a nearby road and thick smoke reportedly billowing across the city. The Vanguard report describes “fierce fire” at the outlet, while Daily Post Nigeria adds that footage shows heavy smoke and visible flames from Barracks Road.
Both outlets attribute the incident to a fire that starts inside the shopping outlet. Daily Post Nigeria says firefighters arrive at the scene, but neither report provides details on the extent of damage, any injuries, or the fire’s cause. The different accounts focus mainly on the incident’s visibility and the rapid spread of smoke over surrounding areas.
