“The Agency activated it’s Cobra Squad from the Onipanu Base and arrived the incident scene at 11020hrs.

“Upon arrival at the scene, it was observed that a plank market and shanties spread on a large expanse of land was engulfed by fire.

“The cause and origin of the fire outbreak could not be ascertained as at time of reporting this incident.”

The LASEMA spokesman said that the fire has been completely extinguished as emergency responders have secured the entire area.

According to him, the “dampening down is in progress to prevent re-ignition,” with “occupants enlightened on the dangers, major causes, and ways of preventing fire outbreaks in market areas.”
