I was passing by on my way to work when I noticed that the market has being razed down by fire.

The fire was reported to have started on friday night and all efforts to put out the fire was abortive.

Witnesses claimed that the fire was as a result electrical spark in one of the shops and the fire cleared the first section plus part of the 2nd section.

If you know the construction of the market, you will realize they are made of wood and closely spaced making it easy for the fire to spread.

My source said the firemen of oyo state tried to quench the fire but all efforts to find water proved abortive

The people off the market were seen today clearing out the debris with the aid of government cleaners or so

I hope they make efforts to prevnt another occurence as a myth holds that the fire allways occurs every 5yrs.

The fire was razed down by fire 7years ago and the government then tried to make borehole. To provide available water but the people of the market refused

Very unfortunate. how do the start again
