A devastating fire has wreaked havoc on a market in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, destroying goods and household items worth millions of naira. The incident occurred on Thursday night and affected at least eight shops in Gbaji market, which is situated along the Ibadan/Ifẹ Expressway. The Oyo State Fire Service, led by Chairman Hon Maroof Akinwande, confirmed the incident.
Upon arrival, the firefighting crew encountered shops engulfed in flames and thick smoke billowing from the affected areas. No casualties were reported. However, the swift action of the agency prevented the fire from spreading further, averting more extensive damage to property. The challenge faced by the rescue team was the hindrance caused by illegal structures and goods obstructing access roads, making it difficult for firefighting trucks to reach the scene easily.
