Fire guts residence of ex Kano Governor

A devastating fire broke out at the country home of former Kano State governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, over the weekend, resulting in the destruction of a sitting room belonging to his second wife, Halima Shekarau.

Although the exact cause of the fire, believed to have originated from the kitchen, remains unknown, State Fire Service officials worked tirelessly to contain the blaze.

While the damage was contained to one area, investigations are ongoing to prevent further spread.

“We thank God the fire only affected one of Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s sitting rooms and already the Fire Service officials are working to quench it,” the source told Daily Post,

Confirming the fire incident, the spokesperson of the State Fire Service said: “We are still at the house and you know I cannot comment on anything now because we are still trying to make sure that the fire didn’t spread to other places.”
