Fire guts shops at Ibadan market
Fire gutted five rows of shops at Agbeni Market, Ibadan, on Sunday.
General manager of Oyo State Fire Service, Yemi Akinyinka, told journalists that the fire has been put out.
He said a security man at an adjoining bank placed a distress call to the fire service at about 4:37 a.m. when the market was not in session.
Mr Akinyinka said no life was lost to the fire and thanked the CBN Fire Service for giving access to Oyo State Fire Service to use its fire hydrant to put out the fire.
