BREAKING: Major Fire in Makoko (near 3rd Mainland Bridge)

Wow! What’s going on today?

Just this afternoon, popular Prince Ebeano Supermarket in Lekki Phase 1 caught fire, with eyewitness reports saying only one firefighter showed up, as people are watching the well-loved store burn to the ground. The store’s structure is collapsing as we write this.

Now eye witness reports are circulating that some parts of Makoko/Ebute Metta, visible from 3rd Mainland Bridge is on fire.
