Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has established a committee to investigate a fire outbreak at the Government House, also known as Muhammadu Buhari House, that occurred on Monday. The fire, which damaged the Mini Chamber adjacent to the Governor’s office, was contained by federal and state firefighters before it could spread further.

A statement from Abdullahi Yar’adua, Director of Press to the Secretary to the State Government, revealed that the committee’s mandate includes determining the fire’s cause, assessing the damage, and identifying any lapses that contributed to the incident. The committee is also tasked with recommending measures to prevent future fires.

The investigation panel will include key officials such as the Head of Civil Service, Commissioners for various departments, and representatives from the Federal Fire Service. The committee is expected to submit its findings within a week.

Governor Radda expressed confidence in the committee’s ability to conduct a thorough investigation and implement necessary preventive measures.
