Poor and unprofessional electrical connections again! "No fewer than 150 shops were razed, yesterday, at the Trinity Spare Parts Market in Ajegunle area of Lagos. Above: The raging fire and rescue operation at the scene.
The plaza is said to house over 200 shops dealing on motor spare parts. An eyewitness and a resident in the area who identified himself as Amechi, told Vanguard that “this whole incident started when PHCN restored power here around 1.00p.m.
Not long after that, I saw a thick smoke coming from one of the shops on B line but I didn’t know the fire was going to be this big and spread to other parts of the plaza. Now the destruction is wanton.”
Meanwhile, policemen from Trinity Police Station were seen around the plaza providing security, while fire fighters from the Lagos State fire Service and those from Julius Berger Plc were struggling to put the fire out.
However, Director of the Lagos State Fire Service, Mr. Rasak Fadipe, said the fire which occurred at 3:24 p.m. was fuelled by the inflammables materials stored in the over 95 shops in the complex"
