Central market, a popular market in Katsina, has been razed by an early morning inferno, on Monday.
The fierce fire, the cause of which was yet to be ascertained as at the time of the report, started at about 8:00am and ravaged many shops, destroying properties worth billions of naira in the process.
A number of young people were also seen around the market assisting to evacuate items from other shops where the fire was yet to gut.
The market is the only international market around there where a lot of trading takes place.
