He therefore appealed to the government to come to their aid immediately so that they could resume business particularly at this season of economic recession.
The Executive Secretary of the state emergency management agency, Malam Sanusi Kwatarkwashi said he has mobilized staff to carry out an assessment of the disaster.
Kwatarkwashi who described the incident as very disheartening called on the victims to be patient and consider the disaster as an act of God.
NAN further reports that both the traders and other residents in the state expressed worries over the failure of the state fire service to respond to the fire.
The fire was put out by the combined efforts of the traders and residents around the market.

NAN gathered that the fire fighting vehicles of the state have either broken down or are short of fuel to carry out any rescue operation.
