More than 69 people have been admitted into various hospitals as scrapmen cut open a gas cylinder containing an unknown chemical at Sharada Quarter of Kano state.

Chief Medical Director of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Hussaini Muhammad, says more than 69 victims have been admitted.

The victims are currently at the emergency section of the hospital receiving medical attention as many suffer suffocation.

The chemical is yet to be identified but locals hinted that it spreads in the air causing harm on the residents.

This is coming less than 24 hours since a gas cylinder exploded at Sheka Quarter killing two, injuring more than 19 persons.

The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Usman Alhaji who led a delegation of officials to visit the victims say government have waded in to provide emergency supplies and foot the bills of the patients.
