He mulled thorough investigations to unravel the remote and immediate causes of the blaze, with a view to prevent its recurrence.

Wamakko further beseeched the Almighty Allah to replenish the massive losses caused by the inferno.

He also condoled the victims on the losses of lives caused by the fire , while he prayed the Almighty Allah grant the deceased Aljannat firdaus.

The delegation was earlier received by the Director of Administration of the Sokoto Central Market, Alhaji Hassan Aliyu, on behalf of its Director General, Alhaji Maikudi Dogon Daji, as well as the Chairman of the State Chapter of the Youths Traders Association, Alhaji Bashiru Basha.

He lauded Senator Wamakko for the invaluable gesture, saying that, the extent of the damages were yet to be ascertained.

Special prayers for the repose of the souls of the deceased and for tge Almighty Allah to prevent the recurrence of the disaster were led by Sheikh Bashir Gidan Kanawa.
