A fire incident yesterday
completely razed the
Administrative Office of Kebbi
State Government House,
destroying all valuables, files,
vouchers and other documents. The fire which started around
5pm destroyed the office of
the permanent secretary,
Government House and one
other office attached to it. According to an eye witness
who works in the Government
House, if not for the timely
intervention of the Fire Service
Department, the whole
Government House would have been burnt down. ‘’I just saw thick smoke from
the building and I quickly
alerted other staff of the
Government House who along
with me made efforts to break
the door of the office of the permanent secretary who was
not around at the time, but to
no avail as the fire kept us at
bay’’, he said. The source who spoke on
condition of anonymity also
said the fire could have been
as a result of an electrical
spark. When contacted on the matter,
the chief press secretary to the
governor, Alhaji Abubakar
Muazu Dakingari confirmed
the incident and explained
that the fire was prevented from spreading to other parts
of the Government House, as it
only destroyed the office of
the permanent secretary with
important government files. Just last Saturday, the
Government House was
flooded following the
torrential rainfall which
destroyed many houses in the
state, and this is the third fire incident in the Government
House this year after the clinic
and a portion of the house
were gutted by fire. The deputy governor, Alhaji
Ibrahim Aliyu and other
government officials have
since visited the scene of the
fire and expressed their
sympathies over the incident. No life was lost during the
inferno.
