Fire razes 150 shops at Trinity spare parts market

Lagos — No fewer than 150 shops and goods worth millions of Naira were Sunday razed by fire at the Trinity spare parts market in Olodi Apapa area of Lagos State.

We gathered that the fire which started around 3:24 p.m., might have been caused by an electrical power surge in one of the shops on ‘B’ line of the plaza.

Eyewitnesses: Confirmed that at first a thick smoke was spotted bellowing from one shop in ‘B’ line as Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, restored power in the  afternoon before finally degenerating into an inferno that engulfed the entire Speed Well Plaza.
