Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Traders are currently counting their losses as goods worth millions of naira were Thursday, burnt as the electronics section of the Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos State, was gutted by fire.
Information revealed that some of the traders are making personal efforts to put out the raging inferno.
It is still unclear what led to the fire outbreak, but there are reports that the fire started following a gas cylinder explosion in one of the shops in the market.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service said that upon getting report of the fire emergency, deployed Fire Crew from Ojo, Sari-Iganmu and Ajegunle, but angry mobs are preventing them from doing their job.
