Reports reaching us says the Birnin Kebbi Central Market has been gutted by
fire in the early hours of Saturday which had property worth millions of naira destroyed but no life was lost.
Alhaji Abubakar Bandam , the chairman of the central market
management, who told newsmen in Birnin Kebbi that the fire was noticed at
about 12:00 mid night, explained that the source of the inferno was yet to be
determined.
He said the management of the market was working closely with security agencies
to identify the cause, just as he commended the state Department of Fire Service
for its prompt response.
Alhaji Bello Zagga , the state Director of Fire Service, told NAN that the
fire lasted for several hours because the firefighting vans did not have easy access
to the spot of the inferno.
He said although the source of the fire was yet to be identified, suspected
sources could be illegal electrical wiring and connections in shops.
Officials from the state government, led by the Chief of Staff
of the government house, Alhaji Suleiman Argungu , and the Emir of
Gwandu, Alhaji Mohammad Bashar , visited the scene to sympathies
with traders who lost their goods.
