Pandemonium has broken out in Oyo Town after an early morning fire razed larger part of the ancient Akesan market with the men of the nearby fire service unable to curtail the situation.
To battle the raging inferno, a reinforcement of fire fighter has been mobilised from Ibadan, the capital city and Ogbomosho which is about not lesser than 50 kilometres away. He assured that more men have been drafted to the scene to restore normalcy and help put out the fire out completely. The statement signed by the Secretary of the group, Mr Taiwo Hassan Adebayo also said in due course it would demand from the government due compensation and rebuilding of the market.The statement reads in part “Tragedies struck in Oyo Town in the early hours of Sunday, January 5, 2020, as fire razed Akesan Market, the town’s main commercial centre, almost entirely and the Police killed at least three persons protesting failure of the fire service.
“We condemn this failure of government service. But more concerning is the disproportionate use of force in response to angry residents who were protesting at the gate of the fire service near Akesan in Oyo.
