According to local sources, flames were seen engulfing a section of the market.
“As I am talking to you now, the market is on fire, but I cannot confirm the details because I am currently hiding”, one of the sources said.

Gaidam, the headquarters of Gaidam local government area, located in the northern part of Yobe State, had earlier faced attacks linked to Boko Haram insurgents.
As of the time of filing this report, security agencies are yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
