He said, “There was no loss of life and no injuries sustained. The Agency activated its Cobra Squad from the Onipanu Base and arrived at the incident scene at 1020hrs.

 

“Upon arrival at the scene, it was observed that a plank market and shanties spread on a large expanse of land was engulfed by fire.”

 

Okunbor, however, said that the cause and origin of the fire outbreak could not be ascertained at the time of reporting this incident.

 

He added that the fire had been completely extinguished as emergency responders had secured the entire area.

 

“The dampening down is in progress to prevent re-ignition,” with “occupants enlightened on the dangers, major causes, and ways of preventing fire outbreaks in market areas,” he said.
