(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA), has urged residents to be safety cautions to guard against fire outbreaks in the state.

Muqaddas said that the agency, alongside the market union leaders would continue to work together to ascertain the causes of the fire for socio-economic development.

A traditional leader, Sarkin Yara, Mr Abdulkadir Magaji, urged the victims to accept the incident in good faith.

Earlier in his address, the Chairman, Tudun Wada Zaria Market Association, Mr Dahiru Shu’aibu, expressed appreciation to the agency for its concern while assuring that the gesture would improve their relationship.
