Hilarious: Fire Attacks Popular Prostitutes' Den In Lagos. See What Happened After (Photo)


Some prostitutes in Agege area of Lagos state have been displaced after fire razed their brothel on Thursday, October 6.

Correspondent who visited the scene of the fire outbreak reports that the prostitutes were seen scampering for safety after the ugly incident destabilized them in the morning (the period after their usual daily routine).

Although the cause of the fire outbreak could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, it was gathered that the roof of the brothel was blown out by the inferno but the building stood against the fire since it was built with mud bricks.

While lingering in the area for a few minutes, Michael Obasa, our photojournalist who visited the scene of the fore outbreak, reports that some of the prostitutes were lamenting and cursing the cause of the fire which all but set them back in no small way.


something this terrible happen to us?” one of the prostitutes was quoted to have told one of her regular clients who was asking her to explain what happened.

Another prostitute was also said to have claimed that all her belongings had been destroyed with the flames that ravished their abode unprecedentedly.

This is a really sad occurrence for us here. This is where we make our daily living, for this kind of thing to happen to us is really terrible.

“I’m short of words right now,” she lamented.


The residents of the neighbouring houses were also said to have mocked the commercial sex workers, stating that the inferno served them right because they had constituted a nuisance to the community since they decided to make the place their business district.

One of those who spoke to the correspondent anonymously, stated that “I don’t feel any pity for them because this is not the best thing they could have done with their lives.

“Our children wake up from time to time to see these people here and there is little or nothing we can do to prevent this from happening. With their recent predicament, it is almost certain that most of them will relocate from that area and probably get something else to do with their lives.”
