Over 60 shops and goods worth millions of Naira were razed down by fire at the Tudun Wada Market, in Gusau, Zamfara State capital.
The Chairman of the market, Lawali Gusau, said the inferno was caused by an electrical fault in one of the shops from where the fire spread to other shops with over 60 shops affected.
Gusau has called on the Zamfara State Government to assist the victims when Governor Bello Mohammed visited the scene to assess the level of damage occasioned by the fire.
The Governor promised to assist the victims with some money to immediately restart business somewhere, pending the reconstruction of the burnt shops.
