The market, which houses over 120 shops, 80 kiosks, and numerous stands, saw 10 kiosks reportedly affected.

In a statement on Thursday, Hassan Adekunle, spokesperson for the Kwara state fire service, said the conflagration primarily affected phone stores and repair shops.

“Our fire crew promptly mobilised and arrived at the scene to find several shops engulfed in flames,” he said.

“The market comprises over 120 shops, 80 kiosks, and numerous stands. Through swift intervention, professionalism, and tactical expertise, our team successfully curtailed the spread of the fire, limiting its impact to only 10 kiosks.

“The affected areas were primarily phone stores and repair shops. Preliminary investigations indicate that the fire was caused by a power surge.

“Traders and market stakeholders commended the Kwara State Fire Service for their rapid response and effectiveness in saving the market from widespread destruction.”

Falade Olumuyiwa, director of the state fire service, expressed sympathy to the market leadership and affected traders.

Olumuyiwa also prayed that all losses suffered would be divinely restored.
