‎President Bola Tinubu has ordered a probe into the fire outbreak that destroyed shops and goods at Singer Market in Kano State.
‎He empathized with traders and people of the state over the devastating incident, which he described as tragic.
‎This was revealed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President (Information and Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday,
‎According to him, President Tinubu had earlier reached out to Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf to obtain a situation report on the fire.
‎The President was particularly alarmed that the latest incident came less than two weeks after another fire destroyed dozens of shops and property at the same market.
‎The blaze reportedly started at about 4 p.m. on Saturday and continued to burn late into the night.
‎Emergency responders from the Kano State Fire Service, supported by the Federal Fire Service and some private organisations, battled the inferno for several hours as traders attempted to salvage their goods.
