Alhaji Muhammadu Bello Sifawa’s daughter, the secretary to the Sokoto State Government, lost her life in a sad fire event early on Monday.
Three children of the deceased, who was the spouse of Alhaji Muhammadu Yusuf Bello, the Permanent Secretary of the state’s Ministry of Sports and Youths Development, also perished in the fire.
The cause of the fire, which began in the early hours of Monday and spread across the entire house while the family members were asleep, has not yet been determined.
State firemen fought for hours before they managed to contain the fire, and only the husband made it out alive.
