The National Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday deployed its Search and Operations team to the Usmanu Danfodio University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto State to assess the humanitarian situation of the victims of the explosion that occurred at the Chemical Market in Talata-Mafara in Zamfara State the previous day.

 

Reporters recall that the explosion, on Tuesday, was triggered by the careless disposal of a cigarette remnant on gunpowder, leading to a massive fire. The explosion resulted in significant damage, affecting 50 individuals with varying degrees of injuries.

 

In a post on its Facebook page on Wednesday, NEMA disclosed that “three fatalities had been recorded”, while “46 injured persons were receiving treatment at the Usman Danfodio Teaching Hospital due to the severity of their conditions.”

 

The team confirmed that victims were being treated in different hospital divisions, including the Orthopaedic ward, Surgical unit, ICU burns unit, and ENT division.

 

Meanwhile, a former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdul Aziz Yari, has promised to pay all the medical expenses for the 50 explosion victims.
