Monday, August 25, 2025 - An Eastleigh-based businessman is counting massive losses after a devastating fire reduced his shop to ashes.
For 18 years, Nur Sheikh Mohammed, a
well-known trader, had poured his heart and soul into building a thriving
business that supplied household goods and clothing to locals and visiting
traders from across the country.
His
shop was more than just a source of livelihood, it was his legacy.
But in a cruel twist of fate, the fire consumed everything
he had worked for.
Not only was his entire stock reduced to rubble, but his savings-cum-capital
of $180,000 (Ksh 23 million), which he had kept in a safe, was
also burnt beyond recovery.
The full extent of the losses is still being assessed, but
the emotional toll is already unbearable.
For a man who had dedicated nearly two decades to his trade,
this tragedy is more than financial, it is deeply personal.
Nur now faces the daunting task of starting from scratch, a burden no one should carry alone.
