A fire outbreak has reportedly engulfed a location in Kano early Wednesday morning.

The inferno, captured in a video shared by Bashir Ahmad, the former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, shows thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky as onlookers stand helplessly nearby.

“A devastating fire incident currently in Kano. Thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. Allah ya kare asarar rai, Ya kuma maidawa wadanda suka yi asarar dukiya da mafi alheri,” Ahmad wrote on X.

As of the time of this report, the exact location of the fire has not been confirmed. Authorities are yet to provide detailed information regarding the cause of the blaze or any potential casualties.

This latest fire comes just five days after another devastating incident in which the residence of the late Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu in Goron Dutse was destroyed by fire.
