Fire Destroys Lagos's Dosunmu Market

Dosunmu Market, a well-known market in Lagos State, was apparently completely destroyed by fire on Tuesday.

An X user named Adunni @plsLoveaintreal posted a video of the incident and claimed that a generator explosion was what started the fire.

“Just in guys, Eko idumota (dosunmu) market on fire,due to generator explosion, and no fire fighters in sight yet, the fire keeps going up, people are running for safety,” Adunni wrote.

“The fire keeps increasing, five complex have been affected, fire fighters are here but still they have not been able to put it off God abeg ooo,”

Efforts by our correspondent to speak with the Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Mrs Margaret Adeseye, proved abortive as she did not pick calls put across to her.
