Fire guts 30 shops, seven houses in Lagos market

It was learnt that there was a spark from a wire when power was restored around 1pm. The wire was said to have fallen from a pole on a matress and sparked off the fire.

The LASEMA General Manager, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, stated that a crowd that besieged the scene and minimal space among the structures posed challenges in dousing the fire. “There were severe operational challenges due to huge crowds who failed to comply with authorities and maintain appropriate distance for responders to work freely. The closely-located buildings also proved to be a challenge for curtailing the spread of the fire.”

The acting Head of the state fire service, Mrs Margaret Adeseye, said the agency deployed fire equipment from three stations after receiving a distress call from the fire scene at 12.45pm.
