There was a fire outbreak at Agbeni Market in Ibadan, Oyo State. This incident took place early this morning, May 14, 2023.

Agbeni is a very popular market in Ibadan and it is one of the biggest fabric market in the country.

A part of the market was affected by the fire outbreak.

A witness revealed that the fire began around 4:30am.

Mr Yemi Akinyemu who is the General Manager of Fire Services was the one who confirmed the accident. He said that the agency had received a distress call from a man named Sunday Ogundele. This man is a security at Access Bank. He had mentioned that the market was on fire.

Mr Yemi revealed that the men in the fire service responded and they are dealing with the fire.

He expressed his gratitude to the Central Bank of Nigeria because they allowed them to make use of their water supply.”
