The fire destroyed the place and about three other shops nearby, including part of a house attached to the shop.

Witnesses said they heard the sound of the gas cylinder explosion from afar.

One of the witnesses identified as Malam Abubakar, said that many people were rushed to hospital naked, with burnt skins.

He said that over 10 people were affected by the incident, mostly those inside the shop and the people living close to the place doing their businesses.

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Fire Service, Mr Saminu Yusif, confirmed the incident.

He said that 20 people were involved, but had been rescued alive and now receiving treatment in hospitals.

Yusif said that the incident was allegedly caused by fire from a man frying and selling fish near the gas shop.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports a similar explosion occurred in the Sabon Gari area of the State in May.
