On Thursday morning, razing fire destroyed property worth millions of naira at the Ladipo Baale Roundabout Plank Market in Orile-Iganmu, Lagos.
The Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyitolu, confirmed that no fatalities occurred. The blaze, which began around midnight, impacted part of the plank market.
Oke-Osanyitolu reported that the fire originated from a stack of planks caused by a power surge and rapidly spread to three nearby shops.

“Collaborative efforts of the responders were able to quickly bring the fire under control before it could spread to more shops.
“The agency’s Response Team and members of the Plank Market Association conducted Public Advocacy on preventive measures, to avoid such incidents in the future.
“LASEMA Response Team, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service and the Nigerian Police Force responded to the emergency.”
