A warehouse used by the Kano State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and other parts of the First Ladies College, Mariri, Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano State were burnt to ashes.
The Kano State Executive Secretary of SEMA, Dr. Saleh Aliyu Jili attributed the cause of the fire to grass burning and charged the general public to be more vigilant.

Also burnt were offices, classes, roofing and desks.

“Properties worth eight million, five hundred and sixty-eight thousand naira, including sixty-eight cartons of diapers.
“His Excellency is dedicated to educational improvement and there’s no doubt that he will take the necessary action so that the students of the school are not affected,” he said.
