Resident Commissioner of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Kano, northwest Nigeria,
Alhaji Abdullahi Minkaila is dead.
He died along with his wife and two
daughters at a Kano hospital after suffering severe burns from a mysterious
fire that gutted his residence at the Farm Centre axis, within Kano metropolis
Thursday night.
Confirming the incident, Kano Police
Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Magaji Musa Majia told our
correspondent on phone this morning that the victims, Abdullahi and his family,
were immediately rushed to the hospital when the incident was discovered, but
could not make it as they were confirmed dead this morning by the doctors.
“It is really very tragic and the cause
of the fire is yet to be ascertained. They were suffocated to death—Mr.
Abdullahi, his wife and two daughters. No one can tell for now, what really
happened; but we have launched full investigation into the matter.
“As I am speaking with you, I am right
here in the hospital with the Commissioner of Police; and we will keep you
informed as we begin to unravel the mystery behind this tragic incident,” Majia
said.
