Reacting to the unfortunate incident, Dr. Adejoke said the destruction of shops and goods represents more than a material loss—it is the collapse of years of dedication, sacrifice, and investment by men and women striving to provide for their families.
“My heart goes out to every trader and family affected by this devastating fire. The pain of watching years of hard work disappear within moments is unimaginable. I stand in solidarity with the victims and pray that they find the strength and support needed to recover from this tragedy,” she said.
