Fire guts shops at Ladipo: The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), says a fire outbreak at the popular Ladipo Market in Lagos destroyed shops containing car accessories worth millions of naira.
According to Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, NEMA Acting Zonal Coordinator, South-West Zonal Office, the fire began around 4 a.m. on Wednesday.
The shops, according to Farinloye, sold vehicle air conditioners, engine oil, paints, and other car accessories.
He told News Men that because most of the accessories were flammable, firefighters had a difficult time extinguishing the fire.
He stated that no one was trapped or died as a result of the incident.
