Bush burning caused FRSC, Kaduna fire incident: Official
The Kaduna State Fire Service has said bush burning was responsible for the fire incident at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria in Kaduna.
The Assistant Commandant of the service, Ayuba Yohanna, made the confirmation on Sunday during a phone conversation in Kaduna.
According to him, the fire started from bush burning at the back of the procurement office.
He said the officers on duty rushed to the scene after receiving the distress call at around 1:45 pm.
Mr Yohanna said two offices at the procurement department were affected with no report of death or injury.
Recall that the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Malagi, visited the F Station on Friday where he promised to carry out reforms at both the radio station and NTA.
