Fire on Sunday gutted a section of the popular Balogun market in Lagos state. A pass-by who wants to be anonymous, recorded a video of a building in Balogun Market that houses and different businesses were on fire.

In the video, he said; “Today is October 9, 2022. This is 11:54 am. Happening right now at Balogun Market. Let the necessary authorities be aware. This is serious.

Some of the traders whose goods were affected were seen crying and lamenting their losses, while others were also seen sympathising with them.

As of the time this report was filed, no personnel from Lagos Fire Service or rescue team was seen on ground.

Efforts to reach the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency were abortive.”
