How We Lost Our Means Of Livelihood, Others Worth Millions Of Naira In Fire Incident – Lagos Plank Market Traders | Sahara Reporters

Traders at the popular Ketu Plank Market, Lagos State, are counting their losses after a fire outbreak destroyed a section of the market on Sunday.

One of the affected persons in the market, Ibrahim Mogaji, a wood toner operator, said he had over eight machines but lost everything to the fire. Mogaji said he was in his house at Sagamu, enjoying the Christmas holiday when he received the sad news that his shop"had gone up in flames again!" A dealer in planks and roofing materials, Kabiru Rahimi, said he also lost “everything” in the inferno. He told SaharaReporters that he couldn't retrieve anything from his shop as all his planks were affected.

"The fire was really massive but we thank God that LASEMA responded accordingly. If not for LASEMA, houses around here would have also burnt because the houses are close to one another. We all had to run off. I have lost over 3N.8 million worth of goods and machines to the inferno." "The machine was completely destroyed because it uses fuel. Aside from that, the projects I did for some people that got burnt; I was not able to recover anything. There was a project I had completed which my customer said he'd come and get on Saturday. He didn’t come so it got burnt along with other things. I would estimate what I lost to be about N1.5 million."

He said,"It happened on a Sunday and only a few people were available. We sell inflammable materials here; the specific area where the fire broke out was where lots of foams were deposited. Generators and machinery were also there. Unfortunately for us, nothing was left. There were about 40 to 50 shops at the section, they were all burnt down; nothing is left of them. The cost of things that got burnt runs into millions of naira. Each shop lost goods and machinery worth millions of naira.

Sad! U will have to wait forever to get fire services to a scene, and you will still have to help them soap and water. We are in soup under clueless rogues. Nothing is working
