The Mundubawa residence of the former Kano State Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau was on Sunday night gutted by fire.
The cause of the fire which started in the kitchen of the house on Sunday night could not be immediately ascertained.
It was gathered that the fire destroyed the living rooms of Shekarau’s third wife, Halima Shekarau.
Confirming the incident to newsmen, Media Adviser to Malam Shekarau, Dr Sule Ya’u Sule said that the fire started Sunday evening from the inner kitchen of the house which was on the ground floor of the multi-million naira mansion.
“We thank God the fire only affected one of Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau’s living rooms and already men of the State Fire Service had successfully put off the fire.”
The spokesperson of the State Fire Service, Saminu Yusuf Abdullahi, confirming the incident, declined further comments on the cause of the inferno saying things are still being put in order.
“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”,
