The governor of Lagos state, Mr Babatunde Fashola has vowed to punish the owner of the store where fire crackers that exploded on Wednesday were stored.
The Governor who visited the explosion site described the incident as "unfortunate" while he heaped blames on owners of the store for being reckless business owners.
"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
An 11 year old boy died in the inferno yesterday. Lagos state is one of the states that has banned the use of fire crackers (Channels TV)
