around 8pm and extended to the early hours
of Tuesday morning has engulfed five
buildings and a sawmill in Oko-Baba area of
Ebute-Metta, Lagos, displacing over 5,000

millions of naira.
According to a resident, a boy was preparing
noodles on the stove that night, close to where
a generator was, and suddenly an explosion
occurred. The fire began to spread to other
buildings till it reached a near by sawmill and
other shops around.
No casualty was recorded but several persons
