Two persons were feared killed in an early morning fire incident that razed over 100
shanties in Kuramo, near Lekki area of Lagos.
The sad incident was confirmed by Director of Lagos State Fire Service, Mr Rasak
Fadipe who told newsmen that the burnt bodies of a man and a woman were
recovered at the scene.
When giving details of how the fire started, Fadipe said problem started in one of the
shanties littering the beach, when a young woman living in one of the shanties was
cooking close to a fuel container.
“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.
We met the man and woman in two different locations roasted after we finally put
out the fire. The fire was said to have started at about 3.15 a.m,” he said.
Fadipe said it took fire fighters about four hours to put out the fire, saying they had
no idea that there was anybody inside while they were fighting the fire. The director
said that the corpses were handed over to police officers from Ilason Division, who
later took them to the mortuary.
