Moreover, Caretaker market is known to be one with hybrids of tribes selling varieties of goods.
The igbos, Yorubas and Hausas are commonly found there selling miscellany of goods, including foodstuffs.
Worthy of note, some years back the market had earlier caught fire, rendering the whole market burnt to ashes and traders losing theirs shops and goods.
It was later rebuilt and it has not spent two years since then before another fire broke out.
