Days after fire gutted about 25 shops attached to the palace of the Elekunpa of Ekunpa , Oba Kosoko , Kazeem , in the Shibiri area of Ojo Local Government Area , Lagos State, business owners, whose shops were affected by the inferno have yet to recover from the shock. Report gathered after a visit to the palace that some of the victims had resorted to auctioning the remainder of their goods , while others , who had sustained burns from the fire , were nursing their injuries . One of the victims , Eucharia Abu, said a boy was pouring fuel into a working generator, which led to an explosion that caused all the shops attached to the palace to be burnt . The Imo State indigene said , “ Around 2 pm , one of the boys employed at the Bet9 ja shop was pouring fuel into a generator when the generator and the keg of petrol caught fire . Out of fear , he threw the keg away and ran for safety ; and it was that burning keg that attracted another generator , before the fire spread to the food vendor , who was using gas to cook . It was when the fire got in contact with the gas that the whole place exploded and the inferno got out of control . “ The fire burnt the whole shops, including the goods stacked in them ; all my goods were burnt, because I was completely unaware that my shop and many other had been affected from behind. But when we noticed the fire , some boys got water to put it out , while others climbed the rooftop and started cutting planks that could attract fire . And that was how they prevented it from spreading to the palace building . I lost goods worth over N 100, 000 , but a man who sells flour here lost goods worth over N 5m . ” A food vendor , Selina Samson , whose shop was located beside the Bet9 ja shop , said the fire made her to lose valuables worth over N 1. 4 m. The Ogun State indigene said , “ I was in the shop washing the meat we bought from the market when I heard an explosion . When I looked outside , I saw that the generator we were using had caught fire and it had spread into my shop located beside the Bet9 ja shop . “ Immediately , I and my workers fled the scene of the fire . I lost properties worth over N 1. 4 m to the incident ; I want the government to come to our aid , because I don’ t know where to start from .” One of the injured victims , Asuramu Temitope , who was working in the Bet9 ja shop when the fire started , said she was to quit the job this month before the fire incident , which made her to suffer severe burns .
