Hundreds of tenants and
traders wept on Monday as fire engulfed the Great Nigeria House, Martins
Street, Lagos Island, which served as their offices and warehouses.
The fire brought commercial
activities in popular Balogun market to a standstill.
Many of the traders were
seen scrambling to salvage their goods from the burning building.
According to a witness, the
fire started at about 5.00 a.m. and was first noticed on the first floor. He
said that as at 10:30 a.m., the fire had taken over the first four floors.
The witness said that the
Federal Fire Service was quick to respond to the distress call of traders; however,
lack of adequate access to the building hampered the activities of the firemen
