Electronic Shops Gutted By Fire In Kaduna State. Photos

Electronic shops along the ever-busy Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, have been gutted by fire. The inferno started at about 10pm on Friday evening.

It was gathered that motorists plying the area have been forced to seek alternative routes as thick smoke billowing from the burning shops has enveloped the entire area.

According to reports, there was confusion as residents were scampering for safety with parents making frantic efforts to escape the area with their children because the inner compounds serve as residential areas.

The fire which is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault in one of the buildings is further worsened by the Harmattan weather, resulting into several shops situated between Jos Road and Ibrahim Taiwo Road along around the Ahmadu Bello Way razed.
