Fire has razed parts of the Ita-Osu International market located in Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State. Over 20 shops were razed in the inferno with goods and properties worth millions of naira destroyed.

A witness said officials of the state fire service, Ijebu-Ode, and the market’s security officials worked together to quench the fire.

The Secretary to the Ogun State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, visited the scene on Monday. He said the state government would assist the affected traders. Speaking with journalists during the visit, Mr Talabi described the incident as very unfortunate. He appealed to the traders to show love, concern and render assistance to the affected persons.

“We are here on the express directive of the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to inspect the situation. The damage here may not look extensive on the outside but the extent of damage in terms of value is a lot. A total of about 16 to 20 shops have been destroyed by the fire. I want to appreciate everyone, particularly market security operatives and the firefighters for curtailing the situation”, he added.

After the inspection, Mr Talabi and his team held a brief meeting with the market executives and victims on government’s next line of action.
