Two persons are reported to have been killed in a fire incident that destroyed about 100 shanty house in Kuramo, near Lekki.
The Director of Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the burnt bodies of a man and a woman were recovered at the scene.
“The shanties spread to about four plots
of land. We got information that the fire started at about 3.15
a.m. Information we got was that a young lady was cooking in one of the
shanties and there was a fuel container nearby, which ignited the fire
and spread to other parts. It took us about four hours to put out the
fire. My men did not know there was anybody inside while they were
fighting the fire. We met the man and woman in two different locations
roasted after we finally put out the fire.” Fadipe said.
The director said that the corpses were
handed over to police officers from Ilason Division, who later took them
to the mortuary.
