    At the Akere Spare Parts Market, Ajegunle in the Apapa district of Lagos State, a fire incident resulted in the destruction of goods valued in the millions of naira.

    A 65-year-old security guard’s lifeless body was reportedly found close to the accident site.

    On Wednesday, the director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Adeseye Margaret, confirmed that the fire began at around 3:28 am and that the Ajegunle Fire Station was the first to arrive on the scene.

    Part of the statement read, “Upon arrival, it was discovered that rows of shops that traded in auto spare parts were well alight that led to Sari-Iganmu and Ilupeju Fire Crews of the Agency joining up to subdued the raging Fire and salvage a nearby major market Petroleum Filling Station with a fully loaded 33,000 liters PMS tanker amongst other adjoining buildings.

    “However, a male adult was recovered by the Tolu Police Division of the Nigerian Police around the scene while the Lagos Neighborhood and Safety Corps and the Red Cross were also in attendance.”

    Adeseye added that the cause of the fire would require an investigation to account for the number of lockup shops and wares lost.
