Fire razes 94 shops in Lagos

Fire, which gutted a shopping complex at Yaba in Lagos yesterday, destroyed property and goods believed to be worth several millions of naira. About 94 shops in the complex opposite the Presbyterian Church, Yaba, were completely razed.

For several hours, firefighters and other emergency responders had a hectic time putting out the fire, which engulfed the shops almost simultaneously. Some shop owners rushed to the scene to salvage their wares after they were alerted.
The presence of the policemen from Sabo and Adekunle police stations prevented miscreants, who were milling around, from looting goods in the burning shops. It was learnt that the fire started from one of the shops in the complex about 12:45a.m. where wears, shoes and bags among others were burnt.https://newtelegraphonline.com/fire-razes-94-shops-lagos/
