A devastating fire broke out at the popular Kara Market in Sokoto State, Nigeria, in the early hours of Saturday, destroying numerous shops and grain stores.
The fire rapidly spread across the market, reducing several structures to ashes.
Firefighters are actively working to contain the flames, while shop owners and residents in nearby buildings are scrambling to evacuate their belongings, fearing the fire could spread further.
The exact cause of the fire remains unknown, and attempts to reach the market’s general manager for comments were unsuccessful, as he was focused on preventing opportunistic looting amid the chaos.
