A fire breaks out at the Bodija foodstuffs market in Ibadan, Oyo State, razing 15 shops and damaging additional stalls. Traders report losses running into millions of naira, with goods and property destroyed after the blaze spreads along a section of the market.

Multiple outlets describe the incident occurring on Monday, including in the early hours. Vanguard reports that 25 other shops are partially damaged out of a wider affected row of 44 shops, while The Punch focuses on the 15 shops completely burned. Daily Post adds that goods worth millions are destroyed. Oyo State Fire Service officials confirm the outbreak, with the incident investigated after the damage.

Accounts align on the key outcomes—15 shops destroyed, others damaged, and significant economic losses for market traders—while differing slightly on the extent of damage beyond the fully burned shops.
