No fewer than 110 structures have been gutted by fire at parts of the Kofar Ruwa Timber Market in Kano on Saturday.
The Public Relations Officer of Kano State Fire Service, PFS Kabiru Isah Jafaru, disclosed this in a statement issued in Kano.
He said the incident was reported at about 7:39 a.m. by a timber dealer, Alhaji Abba, prompting the immediate deployment of firefighters from various stations across the Kano metropolis.
According to him, upon arrival, firefighters discovered that the blaze had engulfed several sections of the market.
“The fire affected 75 permanent buildings and 35 temporary structures within the timber market,” he said.
