Barely two months after a policeman and several goods valued at millions of Naira went up in flames at Balogun market, a section of the popular market on Lagos Island is reportedly on fire again. The raging inferno was said to have started in the early hours of Wednesday, January 29, 2020. The fire outbreak is reported to have started from Anambra Plaza on Martins street in the market. Tribune Online observed that traders are in a serious panic to remove some of the goods through the windows of the high-rise buildings. Traders in the market and other residents of the area have called on the Lagos State Emergency Agency (LASEMA) and other government agencies to come to their aid.
