Several buildings have been destroyed by fire at Oko Oba, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
The strange thing is that the same incident occurred at the exact time and date last year.
A resident of Oko Oba neighborhood, close to the third-mainland bridge stated that the portion of land behind them was taken by developers around when the same incident occurred last year, leaving many residents of that area homeless.
He further mentioned that he believes developers would try to take a hold of this situation to possess the affected area which won't be accepted by the residents of the area this time.
It was reported that at around 6:30pm on Sunday, a sudden loud noise of explosion was heard by nearby residents as many stated it happened as a result of light sparks while others said the fire started from a gas explosion from one of the shanty houses when a girl was cooking.
