A fire destroyed the famous herbs market at Bode in Ibadan, Oyo State, just 24 hours prior, leading to significant losses for traditional herb traders. The market, known for its dried roots, medicinal leaves, and herbal remedies, has been left in ruins, with the smell of smoke and ashes replacing its usual aroma, according to Tribune Online.
