There was pandemonium on Tuesday at the popular container complex around the PTML terminal located at the Tin-Can Island Port in Lagos as fire reportedly broke out at one of the container offices, thereby affecting 40 offices. Both buildings belonged to the Seaview Properties Limited, a subsidiary of the Nigerian Port Authority. Speaking with newsmen around 7:00 pm on Tuesday night, a freight forwarder, Ojo Akintoye said that he was still at the scene of the fire at PTML container complex. It will be recalled that the NPA had given occupants of the PTML container complex an eviction notice in 2016. The occupants alleged that there was an attempt by NPA to concession the complex to a popular port concessionaire.
