A total of four buildings have collapsed due to the intensity of the fire that engulfed part of Dosumu Market on Lagos Island on Tuesday [today].

Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, Lagos Territorial Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said 14 other buildings were seriously impacted by the inferno.

Farinloye said the cause of the fire could be attributed to the refueling of a running generator at the market, which resulted to fire that could not be contained.
