Following the recent gas explosion, the Kaduna State Urban Development Authority, (KASUPDA), has demolished more than 10 shops into rubble in Sabon Tasha, in chikun local government area of Kaduna South in Kaduna State.
Some of the affected shops, located along Kachia road near Sabon Tasha market, includes chemist, rappers, cloths among other shops belonging to business men and woman.
A victim who pleaded anonymity told ROYAL NEWS that no reason was given for the demolition of their shops which occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
