Approximately twelve shops were reportedly burnt on Wednesday, in a fire outbreak at the well known Oshodi market in Lagos
An eye witness at the scene,  Bolanle Oseni, spoke to newsmen, explaining how the incident  affected the electricity connections in the neighborhood.

Mrs. Bolanle Oseni, the Iyaloja of Afijalo, told The Nation that men from the fire service arrived the scene to help put out the fire, but their engines experienced some glitches.
“I went to ease myself when I saw smoke from my toilet. I told my brother to ask the viligante in our neighbourhood what the problem was. Immediately, I informed neighbours who could assist us in putting out the fire. It took us three hours to put out the fire. Even when the fire service men arrived, their engine malfunctioned. It is a painful incident. They lost properties worth N7million to the fire. It is a pathetic incident,” she said.
It wasn't a pleasant scene.
