Fire outbreak hits another popular Lagos market, shop owners scamper for safety

A few weeks after the popular Balogun Market on Lagos Island was gutted by fire, another outbreak has been recorded at the popular frozen food market under the Eko bridge at Ijora olopa, Lagos state.

As reported by the Daily Trust newspaper, the incident was made known by the Lagos state emergency management agency (LASEMA).

The agency said: “The immediate cause of the fire could not be ascertained but all the shops located under the bridge were totally burnt.”

Confirming the situation of immortality and injuries, the LASEMA boss, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, disclosed that there were no death or injuries recorded during rescue operations.

The combined efforts of the LRT, LRU FIRE, and LASG FIRE were available to combat the fire actively.
