The Lagos State Government has commenced the demolition of the five-storey building that was razed at the Balogun Market on the Lagos Island on Tuesday.

The demolition began after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had visited the scene to commiserate with traders, who lost goods worth millions of naira to the inferno, which raged for about 23 hours.

Sanwo-Olu said the government would conduct integrity test on all buildings in the Central Business District of the Lagos Island and revisit the master plan for the regeneration of the area. “There are a lot of traders, who wish to take their wares off the road and occupy these abandoned buildings. We need to talk to the owners and reach an agreement with them on a scheme that will make traders use the abandoned properties.

Kosegbe stated, “We had to do the needful; the fire is still raging and it is difficult for our officials to go too close. The inferno prevented us from doing all the necessary things.

Nawaooo... God help us

The Lagos cabals knows about this propaganda, the building was set ablaze by one of the shop owner been paid to and carry out the operation, with a good reward , and the same person will be around looking at how the building burns. Humans are the most wicked creatures on earth.

In no time the government will sell that place to one rich man and he will use it to build one nonsense thing ....wicked leaders..Mr larry king..I think someone did it on purpose too

Exactly my thought!

Why do I feel that fire was deliberately set by someone to achieve this purpose

The real agenda...😈😈
