The Chief Fire Officer in Oyo State, Mr. Moshood Adewuyi, on Wednesday confirmed that goods and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed in the midnight fire incident that occurred at Sabo market in Oyo town. "Yes, it is true. We were called around 30 minutes to 11 pm. My people went to the scene of the incident. You know, our office is very close to Sabo.
"Only eight shops that were affected. Let us now go to the main cause; they have properties worth millions of naira there and there is also a dump site there. When they wanted to burn the rubbish at the dumpsite, they just burnt it and left. They did not wait to ensure it did not spread beyond what they wanted. These are some of the mistakes that our people make.
