An early morning fire has destroyed several structures at the cereals and mitumba section of the Gikomba market.

The fire occurred in the wee hours of Thursday, June 25.

The mysterious fire is yet to be established, but Kenyans who have been witnessing this say it sometimes leads to death.

One of the traders said;

“I got a call from my colleague who told me that the market was on fire. Upon arrival I saw that everything was engulfed in fire and there was nothing much we could do. The county firefighters arrived at around 6am and they are still trying to put the fire out.”
