The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has condoled with the families of those who died in a fire outbreak that affected an Islamic school in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, on Tuesday night.
The police in Zamfara confirmed the death of 17 almajiris (street children), while 17 others were injured in the fire incident in Kaura Namoda Local Government Area.
In a statement on Thursday, Senator Tinubu also commiserated with Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara over the tragic incident.
“I pray Allah to comfort and give the families and loved ones of the departed the fortitude to bear this painful loss.
“This, once again, brings to mind the need for precautionary safety measures in all our public facilities.
“I pray that such an incident will not recur, not only in Zamfara but in any other part of Nigeria.
“May Allah grant the souls of the departed Aljannah Firdaus,” she said.
