Foods worth millions of naira were destroyed on Tuesday when fire broke out at the Tailor Market behind the ultra-modern Tejuosho Market, Yaba, Lagos State.
The Director, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Adeseye Magaret, said the fire occurred at the clothing and tailoring materials section of the market.
She said, “We received a distress call at 4:01pm and our men from Ilupeju and Isolo fire stations, as well as the Federal Fire Service from Ojuelegba, led by ACFS Adebanjo, arrived at the scene. The fire is under control as damping down is in progress.”
