A midnight inferno has destroyed goods worth millions of naira at the Ladipo spare parts market in Lagos.
It was gathered that the fire started from a furniture workshop along Ladipo street, Mushin, but later spread to a warehouse where Toyota spare parts are stored.
Sources said the fire which started as electric spark from the furniture workshop later extended to number 85, Ladipo Street by Fatai Atere way, Ladipo.
Confirming the incident, the South-West Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, stated that the fire, which affected a three-storey building, continued to rage till Monday morning.
Farinloye said the security fortification of the building caused serious obstruction and that it prevented rescuers access into the building.
He said the building which is still on fire poses serious safety threat, noting that the house has developed serious signs of safety concerns.
