The Lagos State government has suspended commercial activities in Dosunmu Street and its immediate environs following the fire which engulfed part of the market.
Special Adviser to the Governor on CBD, Mrs. Bola Olumegbon-Lawal, said the measure became necessary to prevent further loss of life and property, and to maintain peace and order in the area.
Mrs. Olumegbon-Lawal stressed that traders in the area should make way for emergency respondents who have timely responded to the incident to effectively perform their duties.
Four building collapsed and 14 others were impacted in the fire which started in the early hours of Tuesday.
