Twenty shops were razed yesterday at a
popular market at Ifeleye in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Goods worth several millions of Naira were also lost in the fire, which is the second in six months.

Director of the Oyo State Fire Service Mr.
Olukunle Gafaru confirmed the incident.
It was learnt that fire fighters were not
contacted early, but they put out the fire when they arrived. It was gathered that the fire started from a room in the market around 9:30am. Chairman of the Electrical Electronics Union, Feleye Market, Christian Umechukuwu said
the fire was caused by “human mistake” and urged the government to assist them.

Mrs. Benard Egwuatu said two of her shops were burnt. Mr. Lukman Owolomose said: “I just saw smoke in my shop and ran out to see what was happening. I saw people shouting. Before I knew it my store had been engulfed by fire.”

He said the fire started from the room of one of the landlord’s sons called Waheed. According to the traders, Waheed (a.k.a Labour) is mentally unstable. One of them said: “Waheed took to his heels immediately the fire started. We found out sometimes ago that he was cooking in his bedroom with firewood and bought him a stove”

Officials of the State Emergency Management Agency and the police were on the scene.
