An eyewitness disclosed to The Guardian that a section of the market was engulfed in flames. According to a source, the building on fire is a shopping plaza located at No. 43, Martins Street, Lagos Island.
Traders in the busy market have lamented the inability of the firefighters to put out the raging inferno. One of the traders, who identified himself simply as Owosanmi, said, “it is over six hours and as you can see, the fire is still burning. The government keeps failing us every day, it is taking forever to put out this fire.”
“They have been struggling to put out this fire, but still yet to put it out. I am here witnessing our firefighters’ failure put out this fire”, he said.
.Why blame the Govt for this? Where were the fire fighters? If none exists, why didn't you notice it before this incident? Another case of the proverbial ram that remembers having horns only when attacked by a billy goat.
