Though the cause of the fire could not immediately be ascertained as reports suggest that the Owode-Onirin market has been without power supply since 2017.

Confirming the incident, Director-General of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu said though no life was lost in the inferno but valuable goods including other shops were burnt.
