The fire outbreak is reported to have started from Anambra Plaza on Martins street in the market.
According to eyewitnesses, the fire has spread to about five structures.

Traders in the market and other residents of the area have called on the Lagos State Emergency Agency (LASEMA) and other government agencies to come to their aid.
