The Oyo State Fire Service has said the fire at the Bodija Market, Ibadan, was aided by several kegs of petrol stored in some shops in the market.

“Another 10,000-litre capacity truck also joined in our operation to finally put out the fire.

“However, in the course of our operation, we discovered that grinding machines were in most of the shops with some kegs of petrol, which contributed to the spread of the inferno,” he added. Recall that three blocks, comprising 11 lock-up shops per block, situated at Ori-Igi Lane in the market, were affected by the fire.Kindly share this story:
