Many people have been feared dead at the fire incident at Balogun Market.
The incident which started at around 9;00am when a six storey plaza in the heart of the popular Balogun market in Lagos was gutted by fire.
The razed building is surrounded by several important businesses which included the Union Bank, Diamond Bank and the United Bank for Africa (UBA).
As at the time the fire started, it was battled by a team of combined fire fighters from the Union Bank and UBA before the arrival of the Lagos State Fire Service. Some eye witnesses, said that some people who jumped out from various floors of the burning plaza to escape the fire were carried away dead. Mrs Florence Adewunmi, a staff of the Lagos State Ambulance Mobile Intensive Care Service (LASAMBUS) stationed at the scene told said that some victims had been stabilized and transferred to hospital.
What a loss and pity. Especially for thoes who just got their shops restocked.. millions of goods gone just like that. The Government should help them ooo
