Dozens of buildings were burned to the ground in the community located along the Lagos lagoon where sawmills process timber brought from different parts of Nigeria.
“Millions of people live in this area and more than 250 residencies have been burned up,” Paul Apeti, a 48-year-old timber factory owner said.
“Fire consumed the whole place, we were fighting the flames ourselves until the fire fighters got here,” he added.
As at the time of this reports, smoke could still be seen being fanned by the swirling wind in the area. In my opinion, a fire too many!
