The explosion, which occurred around noon, resulted in the destruction of a bungalow building, six lock-up shops, and four commercial tricycles. Initial investigations conducted by the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service suggest that a gas cylinder on Alaba Lane of the market had a leakage, leading to the explosion.

The force of the blast caused a high-tension cable to snap, igniting a fire that quickly spread to nearby shops. Many traders suffered losses as they attempted to flee from the inferno.

Margret Adeseye, Director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, stated, “The incident was promptly brought under control thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Ajegunle and Sari-Iganmu Fire Stations of the LSFRS, with additional support from the Federal Fire Service.”

“While four commercial tricycles, six lock-up shops, and a bungalow were consumed by the fire, adjacent structures, including a major fuel service station, were spared from damage.”

“Nine individuals, including a pregnant woman, children, and adults, are presently undergoing treatment for burns at the Ajeromi General Hospital and Gbagada Burnt and Trauma Centre. They received initial first aid from the Lagos State Ambulance Service.
