The fire was said to have started in the afternoon around 1:35pm, from the first floor of the building.

Though, no casualty was recorded as most often shops in the building do not open on Sundays.

Margaret Adeseye, Director, of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, confirmed  there was no record of any casualties in the incident.

The fire, it was gathered, started from a warehouse on the first floor of the building before spreading to other floors.

Men of the state Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Police, and other emergency responders raced to the scene to put out the raging fire.

The cause of the inferno was yet to be ascertained  at the time of filing this report, as the Lagos State Fire Services and LASEMA were yet to figure out the cause of the fire.

Affected traders stormed the scene, salvaging remains of some of their wares and other valuable items possible.
