An inferno has gutted the popular Ladipo spare parts market in Lagos State, destroying goods worth millions of naira.
Daily Trust gathered that the fire started in the late hours of Friday at exactly 22:54 hours.
Following the distress call, the nearby Isolo Fire Station of the Lagos State Fire Service was drafted to douse the fire.
It was learnt that the fire affected the Hassan Ola Blocks of the market known as Aguyi Ironsi International Trade Centre Ladipo, Mushin.
Upon arrival, firemen called for back-up from other fire service locations and other emergency responders.
It was discovered that the fire rapidly spread across three blocks that housed auto spare parts traders within the market and was aided by combustible substances stored around the affected locations.
Director, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Mrs Adeseye Margaret, who confirmed the incident on Saturday, said the fire was curtailed from further spread to other blocks through the swift professional intervention of firefighters and other emergency responders.
According to her, an investigation is ongoing to ascertain the cause of the fire.
