Another fire outbreak has erupted at Kano’s popular Singer Market, destroying shops in the Gidan Glass section of the popular market situated along Ado Bayero Road by Murtala Muhammad Way.
The incident, which started Saturday afternoon, is the second fire outbreak at the market in less than two weeks.
A trader, Nasir Maharazu, told Our sources that the fire began around 4:00pm and was still raging as of press time.
“As I speak to you now, I can see the fire burning. The whole two-storey building is under fire. This fire is even worse than the one recorded less than two weeks ago in the market,” he said.
At the time of filing this report, only one fire service vehicle was seen at the scene.
Singer market is the biggest commodity market in Kano and northern Nigeria supplying provision wares and foodstuff to most northern states and even some neighbouring West and Central African countries.
