Some sections of the popular Wuse market in Abuja, the nation’s capital, have been gutted by fire.

Videos of the incident circulating on social media show several shops ablaze while people are seen scampering for safety.

TheCable understands that men of the federal capital territory (FCT) fire service are already at the market to contain the fire.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

There are, however, claims that the fire was caused by some aggrieved youths protesting the alleged death of one of them during a clash between officials of the FCT task force and some traders in the market.

Below are pictures from the incident.
