A plank market in the Sango Ota area of Ogun State was on Thursday morning engulfed by raging inferno.
Traders were seen crying as the raging fire wreaked havoc on planks in the market.
The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained as of press time, but an eyewitness, Tobias Imala, disclosed that the fire started around 10 am.
The inferno is the latest in a string of market fire incidents that have happened in many states of the federation this year.
In April, a midnight fire outbreak destroyed a plank mart in Lagos.
