Fire destroyed six shops in Jigawa State’s Hadejia Local Government Area.
In a statement, Adamu Shehu, the state spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, confirmed the incident.
“On Friday, December 2, 2022, at about 01:15hrs, the NSCDC Divisional Office received an emergency call on a fire outbreak at Gadar Kogi in Hadejia,” he said.
According to him, emergency response personnel were immediately dispatched to the location to put out the fire and save any unburned property.
He added that when the team arrived, the fire had destroyed around six shops owned by Usman Mai Shago and five other people, although there were no human casualties.
The Daily Reality understands that electricity sparks from one of the shop’s wires were the cause of the fire.
