Fresh Fire Guts Kano Market Days After Previous Inferno
Another fire outbreak has struck a major market in Kano State, coming just days after a separate inferno caused widespread destruction in the city.
The latest blaze reportedly started in the early hours, rapidly spreading across several shops and destroying goods worth millions of naira. Traders were seen scrambling to salvage whatever they could as thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Fire service officials responded to the emergency and battled the flames for hours before bringing the situation under control. While no official cause has been confirmed, authorities say investigations are ongoing to determine what triggered the incident.
The recurrence of market fires within such a short period has heightened anxiety among business owners, many of whom are still counting losses from the previous disaster. Affected traders are calling on the government to strengthen fire prevention measures and provide support to victims struggling to recover from the damage.
The incident has renewed concerns about safety standards and emergency preparedness in major markets across the state.
