Fire razes ex-governor Shekarau’s residence in Kano

Former governor Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s country home in Mundubawa has been ravaged by fire, resulting in the destruction of the sitting room belonging to his second wife, Halima Shekarau.

Although the fire is believed to have originated from the kitchen, the exact cause remains unknown at this time.

Efforts by officials from the State Fire Service to extinguish the blaze were met with difficulty.

A source close to the family disclosed that the fire started in the inner kitchen area.

“We are grateful that the fire was contained to only one of Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s sitting rooms, and the Fire Service officials are currently working to extinguish it,” the source stated.

The spokesperson for the State Fire Service confirmed the incident, stating, “We are presently at the location, and I cannot provide further details as our priority is to ensure the fire does not spread to other areas.”
