The Kaduna State Fire Service said a fire incident that occurred in the early hours of Friday resulted in the death of one Mohammadu Sani, his wife, Raulatu Sani, his son, Hashim Sani (8) and an infant, Fatima Sani.
An eyewitness, Safiyanu Aliyu, told News Agency of Nigeria that the late Sani was an Imam at one of the Mosques on Buhari Street, Low Cost, Zaria.
Aliyu, who did not mention the cause of the fire outbreak, said they heard a distress call from the members of a vigilance group guarding the area over a fire outbreak.
