While workers in a manufacturing company situated along the Oshodi axis of Lagos were relaxing over the weekend, little did they know that they would resume work to find their workplace completely razed.

According to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, the inferno that completely affected factory was caused by a chemical explosion.

The agency disclosed that its Emergency Response Team (ERT) received a distress call on the fire incident before it deployed officers to the scene.

The fire was however put off with the support of the Lagos Fire Service. This however couldn’t prevent the loss of properties to the inferno.
