Goods worth millions of naira were early Tuesday destroyed as fire ravaged the popular Kara Cow Market along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State. About fifteen shops and four vehicles, belonging to customers, who had gone the market to buy meat for the New Year celebration were also burnt in the inferno. The traders also said that the fire started from one of the shops close to the car park, where visitors to the market usually park their vehicles. One of the traders, whose shop was burnt, MrsHabeebat Fajobi said that she was not around when the fire incident started. The man who owns the car went to the goat slaughter slab where he went to kill the goat he bought from me.
