Four shops on Kano's Airport Road, adjacent to France Road, in the state's Fagge Local Government Area, have been destroyed by fire.
Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, the State Fire Service's public relations officer, said this in a statement he released yesterday in Kano.
He said that the event happened early yesterday.
“We received a distress call at about 09:06 a.m from Hamish Ahmed and we immediately sent our rescue team to the scene at about 09:13 a.m. to stop the fire from spreading to the other shops.
“The four shops razed were used to sell hospital equipment, car spare parts, while one shop was slightly burnt with toilet wares,” the statement said. He said the cause of the fire was under investigation.
