A tragic fire outbreak in Sokoto metropolis has claimed the lives of four individuals, including the daughter of the Secretary to the State Government of Sokoto, Muhammad Bello Sifawa, and her three children.
The deceased mother was also the wife of Muhammadu Yusuf Bello, Permanent Secretary of the Sokoto State Ministry of Sports and Youth Development.
The devastating fire, which engulfed their six-bedroom flat while the family was asleep, left only the husband as the sole survivor.
Unfortunately, by the time personnel from the state fire service arrived, the fire had already consumed the entire house.
The remains of the four victims will be laid to rest at Sheikh Shehu Usmanu Danfodiyo Mosque in Sifawa, the hometown of the Sokoto State SSG.
The state’s deputy governor, Idris Mohammed Gobir, members of the state executive council, APC stalwarts, friends, and well-wishers have been visiting Sifawa to pay their condolences and participate in the burial rites.
