Ladipo Market in Mushin and Owode Onirin Market along Ikorodu Road in Lagos State were both burned down by a large fire, which resulted in the destruction of products that were valued at millions of naira.
A number of stores and warehouses that were packed with mechanical equipment, automobile replacement parts, motorbikes, and household electrical appliances were destroyed by the fire, which broke out on Tuesday around 1am, according to the information that was obtained.
A fire that had been raging for several hours was finally brought under control by the firefighters at 6am.
There was yet another fire that broke out at Owode Onirin Market, which affected businesses that dealt in metallic goods.
By the time the clock struck five in the morning, emergency personnel from the Alausa and Ikorodu Fire Stations had successfully brought the situation under control.
The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, which is directed by Margaret Adeseye, has stated that neither of the incidents resulted in any casualties being reported.
Her praise was directed toward the efforts of firefighters from the Isolo, Bolade, and Alausa stations, who, despite encountering obstacles in their attempts to reach the damaged sites, were successful in preventing the fire from spreading to adjoining businesses.
