A section of the Ajegunle market located along Oyo Ogbomoso road in Oyo town has been gutted by fire, resulting in loss of foodstuffs and other items whose value could not be immediately estimated.
A vast part of the gaari processing area of the market was mainly affected, suggesting that the inferno might have started from a frying cubicle not properly extinguished at the close of production last night.
The Federal Fire Service Station in the town confirmed the unfortunate incident which according to them was curtailed from spreading through their prompt response.
