It was a mix of grief and palpable tension in the Alausa area of Lagos on Friday when fire ravaged the mechanic village located on Ashabi Cole Street in the Central Business District, destroying over 15 vehicles, while about 10 others were partly burnt.
The fire was said to have started around 2:30am and lasted several hours before it was put under control by men of the state Fire Service.
Though no life was lost in the incident, several other goods were also burnt, including motor batteries and generators, while some other vehicles were not affected, especially the ones parked in the inner part of the shop.
Some other properties that were completely razed in the premises include a computer services shop and a confectionery shop. The fire also spread to the Tisco building, which shares boundary with the mechanic shop, destroying printing machines, air conditioners, desktop computers, souvenirs and other items.
