Fire on Sunday destroyed 15 shops and damaged other property at the Owode-Oniri Market in Lagos State.

The Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the scene that the fire started at 10:27 a.m.

NAN reports that a  LASEMA team was on hand to put out the fire.

The director-general said that the fire emanated from one of the several lines of shops in the market.

“The cause of the fire is still unknown as there is no power supply within the market.

“No life was lost but valuable items were destroyed, though the spread of fire is being curtailed.

“We have counted the shops, about 15 of them were gutted by fire,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.

Oke-Osanyintolu said that the fire started from the metal segment of the market, making traders to call  767/112 channel of the agency.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Haunted by the haunted by Prof. Ojikutu

There is no doubt that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the most hounded of all candidates in the 2023 Presidential elections. This is not unanticipated judging by his frontline position in the race. While there are people whose preoccupation in the forthcoming plebiscite is to ensure that Bola carries the day, there are also people who are not his “well-wishers”. These set of people are somehow haunted by the possibility of a Tinubu administration in Nigeria come 2023. They are so repulsive of the man to the extent that one of them vouched to exit his fatherland immediately the result of the election is announced in favor of the APC presidential candidate. This is what the Yoruba will describe as “Ohun ti o so nu ju epe lo”. This simply means that the punishment is not at all commensurate with the offense”
