According to reports from New Telegraph, the fire incident happened on Monday night and it has been confirmed by the Kano State Fire Service.

Saminu Abdullahi, the Public Relation Officer of the State Fire Service, told newsmen that the firefighters were able to control the fire upon their arrival to the scene of the incident.
