“I have two children and many of the women in this market are the breadwinners of their families. I am a widow, so it is painful to lose my means of livelihood when I have children in school to take care of. I don’t know where to start. By estimate, I lost about N25m to the fire. I have nothing in my shop because everything was burnt.
Another trader, Isoken Oviawe-Eke, said she had stocked up her burnt container with goods worth over N8m from the loans they secured from some commercial banks. She, however, suspected that the fire could not have been accidental based on how it spread rapidly. A 43-year-old trader, Amobi Okpeke, told our correspondent that though he did not lose any of his shops to fire, the quit notice given to them by the state government had given him sleepless nights.
But the Commissioner for Information, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, who said the decision to evacuate the traders was a directive from the Federal Government, lamented that no fewer than five bridges in Lagos had been gutted by fire in a similar manner. He also lamented that the damage to Eko Bridge following the fire would subject commuters and motorists to hardship as it was a disaster for everyone.
