Two Abengourou Markets Hit by Fires in Three Days; Mayor Considers Filing Complaint

A fire destroyed part of the Relais market in Abengourou at around 9 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, with no deaths reported. The National Office for Civil Protection and local residents contained the flames, while the extent of the property damage remains to be assessed. Five shops had already been ravaged on Thursday at the Agnikro market, also known as the chicken market. Mayor Hervé Patrick Adom plans to meet with traders to discuss fire prevention and is considering filing a complaint against unknown persons; the cause of the Relais market fire has not been established.
