Anaedoonline reported yesterday, February 17th 2021 that “goods worth millions were burnt to ashes at the popular Timber Market Nkwo Nnewi.

Narrating what led to the fire outbreak, an eye witness who does not want his name to be mentioned told our reporter that the fire started when some policemen who were on routine patrol, engaged in a hot chase with some drug dealers in the area, who ran inside the bush for safety.

The drug dealers lighted up the bush to prevent the Policemen from smoking them out, but unfortunately, it resulted in many businesses losing their goods worth millions”.

However Anaedoonline learnt from further investigations what really happened was that some miscreants invaded the drug dealers zone in Nnewi to take over, however the traders beside the zone then invited the Policemen to help them chase the miscreants out of the zone.

The Policemen arrived to chase the miscreants out but the miscreants ran to a nearby bush to hid there and set it up on fire to prevent the Policemen from moving further. When the Policemen now left to reinforce themselves, the miscreants now came out from there hiding place and alerted the public that it was the Policemen were behind the fire.

Anaedoonline further learnt that this same miscreants were behind the invasion of the Endsars protesters last year and posed as one of them and used same alibi in destroying all the police stations in Nnewi and using same opportunity to freed some of their members who were in police cells and further stealing police arms and ammunitions.
