A fire outbreak at Gajiganna town in Magumeri Local Government Area of Borno State has left many houses and properties destroyed.
The fire incident, which started at about 2pm, was said to have been caused by strong dry wind.
Narrating the incident, Baa Kaka Ibrahim, a native of Gajiganna said, “The fire started from the roof of one house shortly after the arrival of a man there. And because the neighboring houses were made from straw and grasses coupled with strong winds, fires spread to other parts of the town quickly after overpowering residents who used water and sand to quench them.”
Ibrahim added that a lot of houses, shops and valuables were destroyed.
Some of the affected areas are Gamboiri, Kangiri, Umara Misulali, Baare, Granbori, Tunjiram and Swindi.
