Inferno In A Part Of Sokoto Market...

 Sokoto Central Market's motorbike section is completely destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire was unknown to the eyewitness, although they did report that it began early on Monday morning. 

Nevertheless, an additional source disclosed that the fire originated from a landfill near the motorbike area.

Shehu Muhammad, the chairman of the Motorcycles Marketers Association, responded to the tragedy by saying that while the fire was still blazing, they were unable to estimate how many motorcycles were destroyed.

“We cannot quantify the number of motorcycles burnt down by the fire now because the fire is still raging.

But many people lost their shops along with their motorcycles because they could not come in time as the fire started around 6am. But men of the federal and state fire services are currently battling, but I know it will take some time before they can quench it all,” he added.

Nonetheless, he appealed that the state administration should assist individuals who lost their belongings in the fire.
