A dump site around 202, Festac Lagos was gutted by fire yesterday evening. The site is being used mainly by hausa scavengers who store all sorts of spoiled items ranging from aluminium, plastics and so on….

”All these guys here, they don’t hear word. We always tell them to stop this their igbo smoking, they don’t hear. They will smoke, they will drop it on the ground. Now, we don’t know the one that caused the fire. When the fire was small, they would have quench it, but you know Aboki people, they were just carryng their okada and be leaving one by one.
