A destructive fire has destroyed the main market in Azare town in northern Bauchi state on Monday.
The inferno reportedly started in the middle of the night and about nine hours later, firemen were still struggling to extinguish it.
Umar Ibrahim Sade, the spokesman of the state government told a BBC reporter that firemen are finding it difficult to put out the blaze because of bad road network in the market.
Affected residents appealed to people to make dua (an Islamic term for supplication to God) for them, due to the heavy loss they suffered from the disaster.
