Police arrest suspects as APC supporters accuse Kwankwasiyya and NNPP supporters who set ablaze house and studio of Dauda Kahutu Rarara.
It would be recalled that Governor Ganduje had announced a dawn-to-dusk curfew in the state to prevent the breakdown of law and order after the Independent National ElectorL Commission (INEC) declared the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abba Yusuf as the winner of the 2023 governorship contest in the state.
The defeat of the incumbent deputy governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasir Gawuna had caused tension in the state.
The commissioner called on people in the state to remain indoors as security agents would not spare anyone, or a group bent on causing trouble. However, despite the government directive, the people of Kano still took to the streets in wild jubilation to celebrate the declaration of results by INEC.
However, minutes after, the police were said to have dispersed the thugs but the fire was still on while firefighters were yet to arrive at the scene.
“All you can hear is sounds of explosions from the house as the fire continues to damage belongings,” Abdullahi said. Rarara is a stalwart music artiste of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who performed during many rallies.
Reports revealed that the arsonists invaded Rara’s house and started destroying valuables before setting it ablaze.
However, security agents arrived at the scene minutes after the residence was set ablaze, to disperse the hoodlums, but the firefighters have not arrived as of the time of filing this report.
