Dosunmu Market News

Lagos State,LASEMA

It was a pitiable sight yesterday, watching traders weeping helplessly as firefighters battled to put out the raging fire at Dosunmu Market, located at Docemo and Nnamdi Azikwe Streets in Lagos Island Local Council of Lagos State.

• Six buildings allegedly collapse, Lagos suspends market activities

Six buildings alleged collapsed as shops and houses in an entire stretch of Docemo street in idumota, Lagos Island, engulfed in an inferno, while several goods were destroyed. In his appeal, he said: “The government should look into how they are building houses in Lagos Island, it’s too congested. Once a building is affected, others will follow so, government should do something, it’s government alone that can handle the situation. “Reacting, Director of LSFRS, Margaret Adeyeye said they faced additional challenges of ensuring safe evacuation of traders and the preservation of their merchandise within a densely populated area.

Speaking about the response time, he said: “Our response time is swift, prompt, effective and efficient but the only challenge is the attitude and orientation of our people. For instance, when the fire incident occurred and it affected a generator they were fueling, instead of putting out the fire, they threw the fire out and in the process, it affected other properties. This is not acceptable, but we thank God for our aggressiveness in the way we carried out the response.

She stressed that market women and men in the area should make way for emergency responders to effectively perform their dutiesThe areas affected are Dosumu, Nnamdi Azikwe, Moshalashi, Woro Pedro, Obanikoro streets.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
