A fire outbreak has destroyed an upper section of a female hostel at the Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil.
The Kano State Fire Service on Wednesday confirming the incident said it happened on Tuesday.
The state’s Fire Service spokesman, Alhaji Saidu Mohammed, said the sad incident happened due to high voltage adding that a total of 30 rooms, 20 toilets and four kitchens were completely razed.
“We received a distress call at 09:52 p.m. from one Alhaji Sagiru that there was a fire outbreak in the university.
“On receiving the information, we quickly sent some of our personnel and fire fighting vehicles to the scene at 10:21 p.m. to quench the fire,’’ he said.
Mohammed, however, confirmed that no one died in the fire as all students were still at home due to the ASUU strike.
