A fire broke out at the Mundubawa residence of former Kano State Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, on Sunday evening. The incident occurred in the sitting room of Shekarau’s second wife, Halima, but fortunately, no lives were lost.
According to eyewitnesses, the fire started in the inner kitchen of the house, which is located on the ground floor of the mansion. The State Fire Service responded quickly and worked to extinguish the blaze, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the residence.
Shekarau’s Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Sule Ya’u Sule, confirmed the incident and expressed gratitude that the fire was contained and no one was injured. “We thank God that the fire only affected one of Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s living rooms, and already men of the State Fire Service have successfully put off the fire,” he said.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, but officials are working to determine the origin of the blaze.
The Spokesman for the Kano State Fire Service, Saminu Abdullahi, confirmed the incident but declined to comment further, citing the need to ensure the fire does not spread to other areas.
