SUSPECTED ARSON AT AKERE MOTOR SPARE PARTS MARKET: POLICE COMMENCE INVESTIGATION
- CP calls for restraint in giving any form of extraneous colouration

The Lagos State Police Command has commenced investigation into the early morning fire at the Akere Motor Spare Parts Market, Tolu, Olodi Apapa Lagos.

The fire which started at about 0300hrs was put out by a combined team of officers from Tolu Police Division and the Lagos State Fire Service. Sadly, a 65-year-old security guard lost his life in the incident.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, has urged Lagosians to remain calm as the State Criminal Investigation Department has been directed to take over investigation towards unravelling the true circumstances surrounding the attack.

He equally calls for restraints in giving any form of extraneous coloration to the incident, while assuring that the outcome of the investigation will be made public.

They are useless, this investigation is just eye service.

They will look for an innocent person now to frame up.

The Chief Agbero who sponsored the arson and killed the security man is a well know thug. His pictures are everywhere.

If the police does not arrest him, then they are just deceiving themselves..

Destroying people's source of livelihood just because of politics. E no go better for them.

report has it that it was illegal electrical connection that sparked the fire.
