Nigerian politician, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has donated N15 million to the victims of the fire incident that occurred at a spare parts market in Akere Olodi in the Apapa area of Lagos state.
Recall that a mysterious fire gutted the market in the early hours of Wednesday, March 8, destroying goods worth millions of naira.
There are speculations that it was an arson attack because a dead body was recovered at the scene, suspected to have died from a gunshot wound as he did not suffer any burn injuries.
Barely 24 hours after the tragic incident, the Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos state, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, paid a visit to the scene.
He also donated N15 million to the traders who lost their goods to the fire, and promised to rebuild the market if he is elected as governor.
Watch videos of his visit below,
I am on the ground in Akere Market, Ifelodun to assess the damage done by a fire allegedly set by an arsonist & political thugs.
This is most unfortunate. Our politics should be about ideas, not violence.
Ajegunle people, do not be intimidated. We will rebuild together. pic.twitter.com/2925TTVdjp
