After a slow business day on February 25, 2022, Johnson Bright went home to spend the rest of the evening with his family. Later that night, he started to receive

more phone calls than usual. It was past 11pm and Bright didn’t like to take calls at odd hours. So, he ignored the phone.

“I’m pleading with anybody out there, the government, if they can assist, they should come and assist us.”It has been four months since the inferno, but a recent visit to the affected area shows that no repair or reconstruction efforts are ongoing. “The developer has almost sold out these shops to my members. One guy we call Stone owns about 21 shops there. The shops belong to us. People rented from members of the market that own the shops,” he said.According to Mbamara, the Ladipo market is a money-spinner for both the state and local governments.

There were 140 shops and 34 shops in Hassan Ola, and Never Give Up plazas, respectively, before the incident. This means the LG may be on its way to losing at least N2.08 million annually.From interviews conducted with traders, there are speculations that vehicle owners may also feel the heat as one of the affected areas is known for “American spare parts”.

“I don’t want to accuse anyone without proof. So, I’m looking at electricity fluctuations as the cause,” Mbamara said.
