In a related development, the Emir of Daura, Dr Umar Farouk Umar, also paid a sympathy visit to the Katsina State Government over the incident. He urged the victims to consider what befell them as a test from God and accept it in good faith so as to gain the full measure of their reward.
He called on organisations and individuals to assist the victims of the inferno, and thanked Governor Aminu Bello Masari for his commitment towards rebuilding the market.
