The Police in Kano has ruled out sabotage in the death of Kano Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Alhaji Munkaila Abdullahi who died along with his wife and daughters in a fire incident on Thursday.

Briefing reporters in his office, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris said preliminary investigation confirmed that Abdullahi and members of his family died out of suffocation arising from a fire, suspected to have emanated from electrical fault.

Idris dismissed insinuations that the INEC boss must have been assassinated, saying there was no trace of sabotage at the scene of the incident.

Reporters were escorted to the scene of the incident to verify the circumstances of the death.

According to Idris, “today (Friday) at about 4:30 a.m., the police men on guard duty at the official residence of the Resident Electoral Commissioner Kano state, Alhaji Munkaila Abdullahi located at No. 2 Sir Kashim Ibrahim Road, Nassarawa GRA, Kano, observed a fire emanating from split A/C in the sitting room.

“They make several attempt to get in touch with him including banging the doors and breaking some of the toilets windows but he was not responding. The police men and local guards broke the door leading to the sitting room, and discovered the sitting room was engulfed by fire and smoke.

“They then went to the side of the door leading to the masters bedroom, broke the door and entered; they were not inside the bed room and the Police then went to the bathroom, inside the master bedroom and found the REC, his wife and his two daughters unconscious on the floor.

“They quickly removed them to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital where the Doctor confirmed them dead. The Doctor confirmed the family died from inhalation of hot and black smoke.

“Meanwhile, the detectives attached to SCID sealed the scene and together with the fire service men have commenced thorough investigation into the fire incident,” CP Idris stated.

If they could get to the bathroom,why didnt they just try the door or even call for help? Something is really not right about this cause i dont want to believe they were sleeping in the bathroom.

Our walls killed him.
We build walls to keep us in and
Keep them out.
Our walls lock us away from strangers,prancers, beggars. It keeps us safe.
Alas,our walls also keep out help when most needed.
These walls kill.

Yes. I am.
I lived very close to Sokoto road where this happened. I know how high their walls are,how cut off they make themselves thinking that they are protecting themselves.
And in fires, smoke kills faster than fire.
Don't kid yourself.
The funny thing about smoke fire is,it makes your sleep deep,peaceful and eerie.
Abeg. ...leave matter

I don't believe the story. What were all of them doing in the masters' bedroom bathroom? Were they all sleeping there together?

Anyway,let God judge.

A simple first aid via CPR at the scene immiediately they were found could have saved a life or two.....you cant just bundle them to the hospital like that?.....ignoramuses.

We may need to inquire the ages of the children.
Some kids will insist on sleeping with their parents no matter how large a house is at certain ages.
Could it be that they are minors and that I the last ditch effort to scurry the family out of the house the father led them through the bathroom door thinking it was the outrance?
And again,the police report may have been skewed.

Something is fishy. How come they did not run out when the smoke began? How come the entire family were in the main bedroom? Why kano rec? Why is the police so quick to rule out sabotage? I suspect murder and use of fire as cover-up of evidence
