Traders count loses as fire razes Yobe market

It was learnt that the inferno started around 1am on Friday and was not put out until 4am.

While commiserating with victims of the incident, the Yobe State Governor, Mai Buni, in a statement by his media aide, Mamman Mohammed, said, “Government will look into this huge loss to provide succour to the victims to get back on their feet.

“The Damaturu, Gashua and Nguru Ultra Modern Markets will soon be allocated for traders to move to a more secured environment, to be protected against the menace of incessant fire outbreaks in the markets. “The newly commissioned Ultra Modern markets were constructed with fireproof technology using burnt bricks to protect goods against fire outbreaks.”All rights reserved.
