There was a fire outbreak at the residence of former governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, during the weekend.

According to reports, the inferno engulfed Shekarau’s residence in Mundubawa, thereby destroying the sitting room belonging to his second wife, Halima Shekarau.

While it is believed that the fire originated from the kitchen, the exact cause remains unknown at this time.

The State Fire Service officials made valiant efforts to extinguish the fire but faced difficulties. According to a source within the family, the fire originated from the inner kitchen.

“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.”
