The Chief of Staff to the 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, Munir Sanusi Bayero, Dan Buram Kano, announced on Saturday that a fire had ravaged the Emir’s palace at Gidan Rumfa where he currently resides.

In a statement, Bayero disclosed that the fire incident occurred in the outer court of His Highness’s Palace, Kofar Kudu, late Friday night around 11 pm. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the damage was minimal.

The statement assured that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safety and security of the palace and its occupants. Additionally, investigations into the cause of the fire are underway, and steps are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
