Ojo, Alaba Intl. Lagos Nigeria.

In the early hours of Tuesday 29th August, there was a fire outbreak from a source yet to be identified. Properties worth millions of Naira were lost to the fire. A beverage store was raised down, drinks worth drinking were lost. house hold properties and valuables were lost. Speaking to neighbors, it was suspected that the fire outbreak was caused by a spark from a high tension electricity pole. 

 To God be the glory no life was lost, but survivors were diverstated by the incident as many claimed that the rain fall of the early hours of 1:43am - 2:38am on Tuesday contributed to cause of the fire. Many believe that the incident is not ordinary considering the fact that just one part of the building was burnt down while the other part of the building was untouched. Non seems to know the true cause of the outbreak at the moment.
