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.
