No fewer than four buildings have been razed by the raging fire at the popular Dosunmu market on Lagos Island, Lagos State.

 

SaharaReporters had been reporting the fire incident which started on Tuesday afternoon.

 

In a series of pictures and videos obtained by SaharaReporters, the fire is seen raging on some big buildings in the market.

 

Giving an update on the incident, Ibrahim Farinloye, the Lagos coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said about 14 High buildings were affected and four of them were completely razed by the fire.

 

“Another building just collapsed now. Making 4 buildings now,” Mr Farinloye said.

 

This incident comes barely three weeks after SaharaReporters reported how four buildings were destroyed by an inferno at the same market.

 

SaharaReporters also reported on Monday that a three-story building located at Breadfruit Street, Balogun Market in Lagos State was gutted by fire.

 

A press statement made available to SaharaReporters by Margaret Adeseye, Director of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service disclosed that the fire started from the second floor of the building.
