KANO- Some unidentified thugs have set the residence of a Kano singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara on fire, a few hours after the governorship candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Abba Kabir Yusuf was declared winner in Kano State Nigeria.
Yusuf was declared the winner of the governorship election in the state by the returning officer in Kano, Ahmad Dokko Ibrahim.
Rara was at the centre stage of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign, singing at various rallies while the electioneering lasted.
According to an eyewitness, who is also a resident of the area, Yusuf Abdullahi, the thugs invaded the house and started destroying valuables before setting the house on fire.
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.
