Dangote Female Hostel at the Kano State University of Science and Technology KUST Wudil, was gutted by fire on Tuesday night.
The
Deputy Head of Information, Publications and Public Relations Unit of
the University, Abdullahi Datti, told The Nation that the incident
occurred around 9.30 pm and lasted for about 2 hours, destroying some
part of the building.
He said that the inferno could have been
caused by suspected electrical spark, following the restoration of full
current electricity to the University.
He added that the
management swiftly alerted some relevant agencies including the Fire
Services at federal and state levels who quickly responded and
controlled the situation.
Mr Datti who could not ascertain the
level of damages as at the time of filing the report noted that there
was no casualty recorded as students were already at home due to the
ongoing ASUU’s nationwide strike.
