At least four children are feared dead and others injured following a fire outbreak at Nembe Waterside, close to the Creek Road Market in Town, Port Harcourt this morning.
Eyewitnesses say the fire started from a market boat carrying passengers.
They said the driver of the boat tried to start the engine of the boat when the engine ignited. Others said the driver was smoking. The boat was said to be carrying timber, crayfish, and other food items.
Another eyewitness said a mother of four children, including a newborn, only left the boat to go buy food when the incident happened.
The injured were taken to the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital.
