Alhaji Minkaila who supervised last Saturday’s presidential and

Confirming the incident, Kano Police Command’s Public Relations

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,
