A fire scene defines disarray – the thick, black smoke and flames shooting up from buildings, fire-trucks and busy firefighters engaging the inferno, trying to keep the flames from spreading. The tension is always as thick as the smoke, and a dark mood hovers.
As unattractive and scary as a hung generator may look to everyone visiting the popular wholesale market, it is somewhat a sign of success among traders. Not every trader can afford to buy one of these heavy equipment, let alone place it that high. According to the LASEMA boss, Dr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, a trader tried to refuel an active generator; it caught fire and spurned an inferno that lasted for hours.The generator as the main fire trigger is a popular story around the market but there are other accounts brewing from suspicion. Some traders suspect arson. There are allegations that the fire incidents are not mere coincidence, but the work of a government agency involved in sabotage.
Men of the Central Business District , a government agency, have been accused of exploiting traders at Balogun market, Lagos.The Director-General Lagos State Safety Commission , Lanre Mojola, during the post-incident investigation said they have identified some cracked buildings and sealed them up for safety purposes.
