New Year’s Day Fire Razes Ikotun Electronics Market in Lagos, Destroys Shops, Washing Machines, TVs and Generators Amid Rising Fire Incidents
A fire outbreak on New Year’s Day gutted four electronics shops in Ikotun, Lagos State, destroying valuable goods including washing machines, television sets and power generators. The affected shops are located in a building beside the GUO Transport Company in the Ikotun area of the state.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the fire broke out early in the day, prompting residents and neighbours to intervene in an attempt to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the building. A nearby resident said community members poured large quantities of water on the fire before the Lagos State Fire Service arrived at the scene.
The timely intervention of firefighters was credited with stopping the blaze from consuming the entire building and nearby properties. Although the exact cause of the fire could not be confirmed, it was suspected to have been triggered by a faulty electrical circuit.
No casualties were recorded, and the area was later cordoned off for safety. The incident adds to a growing list of recent fire outbreaks in Lagos State, including a similar blaze at the Army Arena Market in Oshodi within the past eight days, where several shops and goods were also destroyed before firefighters brought the situation under control.
