Massive fireworks fire destroys buildings on Lagos Island.

13 buildings so far affected. A building collapsed behind Arise TV's reporter while she was reporting live on air.

A similar fireworks fire in 2012 demolished a building on Lagos Island.

I thought fireworks have been outlawed? This people don't want to learn . The Government should prosecute whoever stored them in that building.

Sorry

In this period of time!

Lagos Island buildings get as e be. They hardly leave breathing space, so I won't be surprised if fire outbreak goes beyond control.

Fireworks or banga?

Terrible!

13 buildings! Blood and ashes!

We're not ready. When we're ready to be a real mega city, we will demolish those slums called buildings on Lagos island.

From a neutral point of view, I know that those buildings would have been demolished long ago if not that they belong to the indigens. Lagos island is a mess.

Omoooo 😢

Why store fireworks in this overpopulated market, yesterday fire outbreak, today same thing.

What a dirty environment.

Toor…….

Jesus

People's investment and money gone just like that....

Are you struggling with bad habit and need help,contact me via my signature.

This is sad.
This hard times now some people will lose their investments/properties because of some silly people who choose to ignore simple safety precautions.
I hope the relevant government agencies make those responsible to pay for their deeds.
One idiot above is already bringing ethnic sentiments into it without knowing the owners of the destroyed buildings or those who lost investments.

As the word implies FIRE-WORKS

Fire works don work on those buildings
But really it hurts me to see sonething like dis
Not this time
To God be d glory,no live was lost

The Lagos State govt can use this opportunity to advocate for replanning of the affected area because it's quite crowded!!

Okay

It is so disheartening that we keep hearing bad news every blessed day on island, lagos state government needs to do something seriously about the building plan on the island..

Majority of the face me and slap you houses that are Bow being developed by agent are now greedy to the extent that they build on a small pieces of land more than 4 story building with small rooms and no breathing space..

Island keeps looking as if I didn't grow up from there...

The market should be decomjested, more shops have been built around the island, such as the sangros market, but you still see alot of people running to balogun to sell

This is the only thing you could come up with in this tragic story? Shame on you bigot.

They need to bring those storing fireworks in that building to book. First, no safety precautions for such combustible item. Second, other people livelihood has been affected by this inferno

Crimes and punishment should be the order


Then we'll have a sane society

U can see the smoke in the horizon from yaba here

Everytime fire 😏

Fire service no get water ni?
