The well-known Araromi spare parts market at Agodi-Gate in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, has been engulfed by a fire.
The blaze, which broke out around 2 a.m. on Saturday, has caused the destruction of properties valued at millions of naira.
At the time of this report, firefighters are still working to bring the fire under control.
