About 160
shops were burnt yesterday when fire gutted the mammy market of the Nigerian
Navy Town, Alakija, Ojo area of Lagos State.
-
Reportedly, goods consisting of clothing
materials, groceries, foodstuffs, drinks and other household items were lost to
the inferno.
-
The incident started around 3 a.m. and claimed
no human life, but some traders were injured while trying to salvage their
properties from the inferno.
-
Allegedly, the fire would not have escalated,
but for the “inexperience” of the navy fire fighters from the Fire Ordnance
Depot, who did not handle the situation properly.
CULLED FROM THE PUNCH
