Sokoto State’s renowned Kara Market, known for its grain and edible goods, was engulfed in a devastating fire.

The blaze rapidly consumed the entire market, reducing numerous grain stores and shops to ashes.

The cause of the fire remains undetermined.

Despite efforts by the state fire service, the intensity of the flames hindered containment.

Shop owners and nearby residents scrambled to evacuate their belongings, fearing the fire could spread further.

This incident marks the second fire outbreak at Kara Market in recent weeks. Previously, the grinding section was destroyed by fire, prompting the state government to pledge support for the affected traders.

The Sokoto State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has commenced preliminary assessments to determine the financial impact of the disaster and mobilize support for the affected traders.
