NEMA said,
Quote
“No. 32 Gbajumo Street, Lagos Island, Lagos State fire has been brought under total control.

“The building, from the Pent floor used as a store to the 5th and 4th floors, had shown signs of falling due to the heat.”

Igbo traders should be  at alert. The Yoruba miscreants ordered by Bayo Onanuga, Otunba Biodun Ajiboye, Femi Fani Kayode, Mc Oluomo and others are on rampage. Their target is clear . Igbos and markets dominated by Igbos .
