On Wednesday night, a fire gutted the ancient Kasuwar Rimi Market in Kano, consuming no fewer than 10 shops. However, according to the spokesman of the Kano State Fire Service, Saminu Abdullahi, there were no injuries or deaths recorded during the inferno.
The fire incident occurred at about 8.40 pm on Wednesday, and the statement reads, “We received a distress call from one Magaji Umar that there was a fire outbreak at the market where they sell mattresses, beds, and carpentry materials.
On receiving the information, we quickly sent some of our personnel and fire-fighting vehicle to the scene at about 8.49 pm to quench the fire so as not to affect other shops.”
Abdullahi further disclosed that six permanent and four temporary shops were completely razed, while one public convenience was slightly burnt.
He added that the fire was caused by an electric spark from an improvised structure, and the incident is currently under investigation.
