Read Time:42 Second
Lagos State Police on Friday dismissed reports that the popular Alaba International Market at Ojo area was on fire.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said that although the market was not razed, officers stormed the location, arrested some suspected criminals and recovered their weapons.
“The market fire story was a false narrative.
“Acting on credible information, police operatives from Ojo Division raided shanties around the market, arrested suspected criminals and recovered some weapons.
“The shanties were thereafter set on fire,’’ he stated.
The popular market was reported to have been destroyed by fire earlier today when a gas leak from a gas cylinders shop spread to other areas of the market and destroyed goods and properties.
It added that traders at the market adopted self-help methods to put out the fire before the arrival of emergency responders.
