Fire broke out early this morning at Warehouse B, Ladipo market in Mushin, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

Goods worth millions naira were destroyed.

The fire raged until a combined team of men of fire service from Mushin and state intervened and quenched the light.

Most of the traders who were victims lamented that they had lost everything to the inferno.

The warehouse management bemoaned the incident and promised that measures would be put in place to prevented such a disaster in future.
