Wamakko commiserates with Kasuwar Daji market fire victims in Sokoto 

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Defence and Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti Corruption, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has commiserated with the victims of the Kasuwar Daji Sokoto market fire disaster, who lost assorted properties believed to be worth millions of naira.

The ill-fated market popularly called “Ramin Kura,” which is the hub of all vegetables, fruits, spices, grains and root crops among others, went up in flames in the early hours of Wednesday.

Consequently, unquantified properties had been razed by the inferno, largely onions, yams, vegetables, and fruits, resulting in huge losses incurred by the affected traders.

Wamakko, a former governor of the state, described the unfortunate incident as a divinely ordained, just as he expressed happiness that no life was lost as a result of the blaze.

A statement signed by the special assistant to the senator, Bashir Rabe Mani, said Wamakko, who represents Sokoto North Senatorial District, commiserated with the vicitms of the disaster, as well as admonished them to regard it as an inevitable act of Allah.

He beseeched Allah to replenish the losses incurred by the myriad of affected traders, most of whom had lost their life savings.

Wamakko further expressed shock and sadness that the tragedy struck at a time when citizens were already experiencing some formidable hard times.

“I am therefore praying the Almighty Allah to prevent the recurrence of such obnoxious tragedies, as well as make ways for the victims to bounce back with their hitherto bustling trading and commercial activities in the market.

“On behalf of myself, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and all its supporters. I am hereby commiserating with all the victims and we are sharing your unexplainable griefs.

“You are not alone in this pensive period. We will continue to be with you and we will stand with you,” Wamakko said.
