Governor Fashola vows to deal with owner of stored fire crackers

A shop containing fire crackers exploded in a storey building, killed one, injured many, damaged cars and houses. It was like a bomb blast, people near and far at first thought it was Boko haram at work. You can't imagine the rate at which the marketers packed their things, even passers by were running and crying.

 Fashola who visited the site yesterday said he plans to punish the owner of the store on Oko Awo street where the fire crackers were stored.

“In order to make quick business, we have lost a life, we lost property and all of us are in danger. All of these items are under one form of prohibition or the other and we have men and women at our various entry and exit points. How did they get in? How did they enter? Who imported them and who cleared them? Who approved them to come in. Those are very serious issues we must also ask ourselves" Fashola said

Lagos state is one of the states that has banned the use of fire crackers
