The Sokoto Central market was gutted by fire earlier today, with the motorcycles and bicycle dealers mainly affected.

An All Progressives Congress member, HB Mayana, shared photos from the devastating incident on X this morning.

He wrote: “Sokoto Central market faced a devastating fire earlier today, particularly impacting the motorcycles and bicycle dealers.


“Preliminary reports suggest losses amounting to billions of Naira. Our thoughts are with the victims. May Allah reward them abundantly.”

Meanwhile, an eyewitness who spoke with Punch said the Sokoto Central market fire emanated from a dump site close to the motorcycle section.


Reacting, the chairman of Motorcycles Marketers Association, Shehu Muhammad, said they could not quantify the number of motorcycles destroyed by fire because the fire was still raging.



“We cannot quantify the number of motorcycles burnt down by the fire now because the fire is still raging.

“But many people lost their shops along with their motorcycles because they could not come in time as the fire started around 6 am.

“But men of the federal and state fire services are currently battling, but I know it will take some time before they can quench it all,” he said.

Same market Wike donated 500 Million of rivers money to after the last fire incident when he was skimming to win the PDP presidential ticket. .. Na wa oooo

Life has a way of telling expensive jokes ... If a thief came and stole 0.001% if that from that marker , he will be lynched but billions have gone up in smoke and nothing can be done about it.

🧐

COMRADES, which one should we face? Fire outbreaks or hunger?

Where was the Nigerian Fire service when the fire was escalating?

That’s so sad. In this difficult times, imagine what the traders will be feeling.

Chai..


Sokwoto kofornor ate with Alumajiri,

Next thing is fire incident at the central market,

Dat one no be bad luck?




Sorry to the victims who lost money.

The last time this happened in Sokoto Central Market, Nyesom Wike donated 500million naira. I’m expecting him to make the same donation again 😀😀😀

Notice how most people are no longer complaining of services like Fire Service? It’s because of how Tinubu and Buhari lowered the bar of governance

People are now only asking for a means of survival

TINUBU has failed even in the area of fire fighters

The poster above me is high!

sorry

Is it the same one wike donated Rivers Tax payers money too some 2 years ago.

The dangerous safety of our nation.
Nothing is guaranteed! Who could ever think the safest central of economy could be burnt like this? All the important documents already gone.

It is high time major markets in Nigeria have fire trucks stationed near them exclusively for the markets and have regular Fire drills.

Fire don't happen everyday but when it does, so much is lost at once.

will WIke still make a donation in millions for the rebuilding of this market?

Wike over to you! Another 500 million for them

Dan boro uba Dan iska shege 👀

They should seek the face of God for repentance

Sad




In this tinubu beautiful government

We're obviously in the era of lost, either as an individual or organization..

Everyone's busy losing one valuable asset or the other..

My heart goes to the struggling traders, who had all their savings invested in the market ...

No donation from Wike this time

Where Wike, make him go donate 5billion give the governor as usual.

Again? That market has continued to face fire outbreak. Can't the local authorities do something to stem the incessant destruction of property including putting in place fire fighting facilities?

Sell it o. Before it catch fire o.

All traders are multi millionaires due to inflation.

This is hurtful.

Hmmm

Insurance will cover

I have not bought anything in weeks because no money, but I know when I try, I would be depressed due to their inflation (on old stocks).

May God condole those that lost their resources in the fire. It is so devastating to be a victim of fire outbreak, especially in this Tinubu government and Nigeria is not a country where insurance works well.

May thy lord save us from rage of fire! Amen

This serious ooo
