Fire incident has destroyed several shops at Ire Akari Estate Area of Soka, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, reportedly started around 3pm, causing commotion and tension within the neighbourhood.
Although, the cause of the inferno could not be ascertained as at the time of this report, an X user, @rosheethat, who posted a video, however called for help.
She posted, “Ire Akari Soka right now. Anybody that can help us.”
She, however, noted that before the arrival of the firefighters, the shops had been completely razed down.
“They (firefighters) are here now but nothing left again because everything has been burnt.”
It would be recalled that five people were recently confirmed dead while 77 sustained varying degrees of injuries and 58 houses were damaged during the explosion that rocked Adeji, Old Bodija in Ibadan, the State capital.
