The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

A section of the popular Ladipo auto spare parts market in Lagos got burnt on Sunday, May 30, 2021. Two of the affected dealers, Messrs Peter Okeke and Emmanuel Ikechukwu, tell GODFREY GEORGE about their lossesMy name is Mr Peter Okeke. I am from Enugu State. I own a shop at the Alapeju section of the Ladipo Spare Parts market, Mushin, Lagos State.I was in church already that Sunday when I was phoned and informed of the fire.

I didn’t know if I should tell my wife, because I didn’t want her to panic. I just went back into the church, told her I had something urgent to handle at the shop and told her to be calm and go home after the mass. When I got to the shop, all I saw was fire, serious fire. I have two shops – one on the first floor, the other on the ground floor. I also have a parking store. The shop upstairs got burnt completely. I couldn’t move a ‘pin’ out of it. Everything got destroyed. One thing that broke me was watching my sweat of over 27 years go down the drain.I am sure it is nothing less than N8m, because I just stocked my shop with new goods.

The incident was just too sudden, but I take solace in the fact that God knows all about me and he will never let his children down.My children are still quite young, so they do not understand the extent of the experience. It is my wife that needs consoling, because she knows how we struggled to get to where we are now, and seeing it go away in a twinkle of an eye is still like a dream to her.My name is Mr David Emamnuel Ikechukwu. I am from Enugu State. I am in my 30s.
