A fresh fire outbreak has destroyed shops and goods at Singer Market in Kano State, with the blaze reportedly starting at about 4:00 p.m. on Saturday and continuing to burn late into the night
Emergency responders from the Kano State Fire Service, supported by the Federal Fire Service and some private organisations, battled the inferno for several hours as traders attempted to salvage their goods.
The fire affected parts of the market, including the Gidan Gilas section, where shops and property were damaged
The latest outbreak comes less than two weeks after a devastating fire swept through the market in the early hours of February 2, destroying goods worth billions of naira.
That incident affected several sections along Bello Road, including Gidan Mazaf, Gidan Taki and Gidan Katsinawa, where large quantities of household commodities such as soap, detergent and cooking oil were lost.
