A fire broke out in a house in the Ja’en Sabere neighborhood of Gwale Local Government Area in Kano, northern Nigeria, resulting in the death of an 18-year-old girl and the destruction of parts of the house.

The house owner, Saminu Abba, confirmed the incident to DAILY POST on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

He explained that the fire started around 1:00 AM on Wednesday night, and that the Kano State Fire Service, local vigilantes, and other community members responded to the emergency.

“We were asleep when we heard a loud noise and the shouts of people in the neighborhood. When we woke up, we saw that the fire had started in parts of our house and was blocking the exit, with the fire raging uncontrollably,” Saminu said.

He continued, “After the fire service, vigilantes, and other community members intervened, they broke into the neighboring house and six people managed to escape, but unfortunately, their 18-year-old daughter, who had sickle cell disease, died in the fire.”

Saminu Abba also added that their clothing and many of their belongings were completely burned, and he appealed to the authorities for assistance given the dire situation they were facing.

DAILY POST contacted the PRO of Kano State Fire Services, Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, who said he wasn’t aware, as he was on an official trip, but promised to provide further details later.
