Spokesman of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), CSC. Adamu Shehu, confirmed the incident.

He said the incident happened at about 1030hrs, at Na Malam Zangi Shopping Complex, Bakin Kasuwa, Matsaro Ward opposite Sambajo Store, Hadejia Main Market.

Adamu said the fire incident consumed three phone shops, a stall, and part of a mosque in the area.

He said the cause of the fire is unknown but an eyewitness said it was a result of a spark from an electricity pole close to one of the shops.

The fire was, however, put out to prevent further escalation by the combined effort of the NSCDC disaster management response team, fire service personnel and residents living within the area.
