Fire in the early hours of Friday razed the Dutse Ultra-modern market in Dutse local government area of Jigawa State destroying properties worth millions of Naira
The fire which was said to have started at about 5:30 am, razed an entire rubber factory situated close to ice block producers’ shops.
Spokesman of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps in the state, SC Adamu Shehu confirmed the incident to newsmen.
According to Shehu, the fire incident originated from a burning garbage very close to the factory.
He explained that there was no report of loss of life or injuries but property worth millions of Naira were consumed by the inferno.
Shehu said it took the combined efforts of NSCDC personnel, Fire Service and well-meaning Nigerians to put out the fire.
